The layout of the community, its emphasis upon natural, attractive features, its affordable, economical costs for moderate income persons, the inclusion of emergency response buttons inside every manufactured home - which connect to the community’s own EMT service (average response times of two minutes)…and the rich array of programs for active retirees was all part of the AARP original plan. 

50 years later, current Hawthorne at Leesburg residents continue to enjoy the outcome of this initial careful joint planning. Just 50min drive outside of the Orlando area, and within two hours of Gulf Coast Beaches (Clearwater Beach)… 

Hawthorne at Leesburg enables the Florida retirement dream for many of America’s Veteran service members, teachers, sales professionals and more.
