NEWEST MANTECA TREND
Manteca: 209s active retirement lifestyle hub
Placeholder Image
Manteca by landing what will be the largest hotel in the Central Valley that’s breaking ground this summer — the 500-room Great Wolf Lodge indoor waterpark resort to go along with the Bass Pro Shops and Big League Dreams — is firmly establishing itself as the 209’s family entertainment Mecca.It is also in the process of developing the highest concentration of age-restricted housing designed for active adult living in the Northern San Joaquin Valley.Trumark Homes broke ground in January on the 492-home TruLiving in Manteca neighborhood. Sales will start later this year on the detached single family homes that will be the firm’s first age-qualified master planned community.That means Manteca will continue to be offering new homes for active seniors — typically meaning at last one spouse has to be 55 years older — as it has since 2006 when Del Webb at Woodbridge had its first sale. The 1,406-home Del Webb community sold its last new home in 2017.When TruLiving is completed almost 8 percent of Manteca’s housing stock including the gated Camellia Gardens neighborhood but excluding age-restricted mobile home parks will have deed restrictions assuring the neighborhoods will always be home exclusively to older buyers that seek an active lifestyle.At the same time developers have been trying to rustle up interest in additional age-restricted communities north of Lathrop Road.Originally the late Antone Raymus in 2005 advanced age-restricted community similar to Del Webb on the 122 acres where Trumark Homes is building.
