Sweetwood of Williamstown at Williams College leads UniversityRetirementCommunities.com List of most searched communities in U.S.
UniversityRetirementCommunities.com, the nation’s first directory and information website for the rapidly growing model of senior living communities with a connection to a university or college, has released its list of the most searched University Retirement Communities, or “URCs”, since the launch of the site last Fall.
Among the more than 80 URCs on the site, the Top-10 most searched and viewed communities are associated with academic institutions ranging from small liberal arts colleges to large public universities nationwide.
“Baby Boomers are the most highly educated retirement demographic in history. With more than 11,000 turning 65 each day, they’ve made it clear they want active, intellectually stimulating, and intergenerational retirement environments – essentially a college campus – no matter where it’s located,” says Andrew Carle, Founder of the website.
Leading the list is Sweetwood of Williamstown, with its close proximity and connections to Williams College, in Williamstown, Massachusetts. Rounding out the Top 10, along with their associated academic institution:
