Toledo Bend Lake Country Named One of Top 11
Southern Retirement Hotspots
Charlotte, NC – Toledo Bend
Lake Country has been named one of the Top 11 Southern Retirement Hotspots to
be featured in the upcoming Jan./Feb./March, 2010 quarterly edition of Retirement
Lifestyles, a 10-year-old magazine that highlights locations,
communities and lifestyles for prospective retirees across the United States.
“We were impressed by the Toledo Bend Lake, the incredible
housing values in the area and the golf at the Cypress Bend Golf Resort and
Emerald Hills,” said Retirement Lifestyles Executive Editor Dan
Owens. “Our editorial staff feels that this rural part of Louisiana has a
resort atmosphere but also a low cost of living that allows retirees to really
stretch their retirement savings. Military retirees should fell especially
welcome in Sabine Parish,” he said.
“So many retirees have been affected by the recession that
the Toledo Bend Lake area of Louisiana in Sabine Parish is actually a great
relocation choice for many relocating retirees from other states,” Owens added.
Retirement Lifestyles magazine focuses on
communities and retiree lifestyles in 11 southern states: Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Florida, Virginia, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The award-winning magazine often highlights smaller
towns that are “under the radar” of the national media.
“As baby boomers age, there will be an increasing interest
in finding unspoiled smaller communities with great natural assets and a good
quality of life,” Owens said. “Many retirees need an information source like Retirement
Lifestyles to learn more about great lifestyle communities such as the
Toledo Bend Lake Country area. We feel that this area has been a popular
tourist and resort destination. Our view is that the area has growth potential
as a national retirement destination,” the editor said.
Retirement Lifestyles, which has approximately
100,000 readers each quarterly issue, was named the 2nd
Best Magazine for 55+ Readers – just behind AARP - in 2009 by the national
Mature Market Media Awards (www.seniorawards.com).
