Certainly the nicest retirement community I have ever visited. I went with my parents, who are considering a move to Academy, and was HUGELY impressed by the setting under the foothills in a serene neighborhood, the lovely built environment across the city block it occupies, the restaurant (which is really commendable), the common areas, and the super-welcoming, highly professional staff, all of whom made our visit feel more like a luxury retreat than others we have seen.
