My husband and I have lived at The Chateau at Lake San Marcos for six years. The most important thing to know is that The Chateau is a RESIDENT OWNED RETIREMENT COMMUNITY. Everyone owns their own condo, should you sell your condo and it has appreciated, which is the usual situation, you get that appreciation. All homeowners at The Chateau are members of a Homeowners Association. This means that the homeowners decide what amenities they want, and there is an excellent staff that provides those amenities. Those are the hard facts that make The Chateau the best choice in a senior retirement community. Additionally there are "soft" facts that make The Chateau desirable. The amenities are excellent. One meal a day is provided in the beautiful dining room that is the equivalent of any "white tablecloth" restaurant. The staff is well trained and the food is excellent. The grounds are lovely and there is a lap pool and jacuzzi. In the summer really fun water aerobics classes take place twice a week. There are several wonderful exercise classes. Other amenities include bi-monthly housekeeping, transportation to medical appointments and many shopping destinations, and many fun activities. There are many other excellent amenities. But the most important thing about The Chateau is the friends you make. It is the friendliest community you will ever find.
