Retirement Age Population
The retirement community in Ellis County and the city of Waxahachie reflects a viable market for affordable housing, especially for the aging population seeking an alternative life style to accommodate a fixed retirement budget. The current affordable housing market leaves very few options for the retirement community. The planned Sun Valley Club development will provide an alternative solution with RV short and long term rental lots and mini home purchase and rental lots, along with additional services for the residents. The project is a 42 (+-0 acre tract of land being developed specifically for the retirement community.
