Village in Surprise
The Daily is all too happy to give coverage to the new, planned development of Marigold Creek, a gated, upscale retirement community for ‘gay’ retirees. Taking a back seat only to promotion of illegal aliens, same-sex issues rank high on the newspaper’s list.According to the report, such communities already exist or are underway in Florida, California and New Mexico. But this development is the first community of its kind in Arizona.
Located on 32 acres in the town of Surprise, the layout will feature 190 condos and homes ranging in price from $249,000 to $850,000. The first units are expected to open by fall 2009.
Surprise Mayor Lyn Truitt is a fan of the concept. “We’re not a community that puts up barriers,” he said. “Rather, we take them down.”
“For some people, this might be the very first time in their entire life they’ve been able to live somewhere where they can be themselves,” said Debi Purvis, principal with Out Properties.
“Existing communities don’t always work for gays,” said Steve Donovan, a local Realtor and member of the Arizona Gay Realtor Alliance
