climate in Phoenix and Tucson begins in late October and continues into early May. This period has been home to the “Snow- bird” lifestyle for years. Seniors can partake in a variety of many major events and activities when they’re in the Valley during those months. Chief among them is Spring Training. The Phoenix area is home to the Cactus League, the spring training league for 15 Major League Baseball teams. Play begins in late February and typically finishes up in late March. Senior Snowbirds are generally more active retirees. They face many of the same needs and concerns as full-time residents, but are less likely to be interested in assisted or long- term care alternatives. However, many of the facilities and services in place for the permanent senior residents are also available to part-time residents. Although some retirees are able to maintain multiple full-time residences, Phoenix and Tucson offer many options for winter-only accommodations. Homes and condos are available throughout the area under short- term lease, usually one to six months. Two very popular options are RV/trailer parks and manufactured home parks. RV/trailer parks are plentiful and offer affordable rates for multiple month stays. Manufactured homes are generally an ownership-only option, but are much more affordable than the traditional home or condo. Many manu- factured home parks offer the amenities associated with apartment or condo living, including facility and yard maintenance. SENIOR HOUSING OPTIONS The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) estimates that private senior care housing can range in cost from $20,000 to $200,000 per year, depending on the services and degree of care a facility offers.

HUD also notes that as Baby Boomers approach their retirement years, the trend toward creating active retirement communities where residents
