Imagine the courage it took for the first buyers to move into the new LeisureTowne retirement community in December 1970.  Many had no close neighbors nor even houses across the street.  The streets were unpaved and there were no sidewalks or streetlights.  There was no mail delivery… they had to go to Settlers Hall to get their mail.

The early residents called themselves “The Pioneers”, and they recall fondly what a friendly group these early residents were.  They gathered every Friday night at Settlers Hall to dance to records.  One of the earliest clubs formed was square dancing.  People were always willing to volunteer for things to do to make LeiusreTowne a fun place and a great place to live.  When new Trustees were added to the Board, there were always several candidates for each position and campaigning for election was the order of the day.

Gradually, the streets were paved, sidewalks laid, streetlights installed and lighted, mailboxes installed and used, clubs formed and carried on.  New section of the town came into being.  Homes were occupied, yards were beautified, and now, more than four decades later, LeisureTowne is a beautiful place to live, work and play, with 2,255 home and over 3,400 residents.

The LeisureTowne Association is a not-for-profit corporation, incorporated on May 1, 1970, which owns or maintains all of the common land and facilities within the LeisureTowne Community.  The Association establishes and enforces regulations governing the rights and obligations of members regarding residency in the community and use of the common properties.
