What People Are Saying

“I think this is a great place. There’s a great view of the Catalinas as you’re close to Sabino Canyon and that appeals to me. Landscaping is really, really first class. It’s very easy to meet people here. You just introduce yourself and get to talk to people and find out what their story is and get to tell your story.”

“There isn’t anything that I need–or have to go out of my way to search for–that has not been able to be found for me here.”

“Taking care of a house is a big deal and a good reason to come to someplace where you don’t have to worry about it. I think the best advice I could give somebody is don’t wait. People say, ‘Oh, I’m not ready,’ but the people who move say, ‘You know, we’re really enjoying this.’ Watermark gives us that option.”

“I have lived here for over 4 years and have had nothing but great experiences. From fine dining at 5 different restaurants to so many opportunities both fun and educational. A person could stay busy every minute of the day if they wanted to.”

“I’m independent here. I can do what I want … and I love it. Many people still have the wrong perception of what a retirement development is. People have to come and see for themselves that this is a different way of life.”

“I just keep pinching myself, saying ‘Has this really happened? This is so good!’ It fits my lifestyle perfectly. The people who live here are just exceptional. It’s like a family, and for me, who has no family, this has been so important.”

“Before moving here, I investigated at least five places and I studied the positives and negatives of each place. The Hacienda came at the top of the list. I walk every day with friends. I like the mountains. I like the birds. I feel like I’m living in a park. It’s really like this is a God-given gift.”
