Rice Development - Adult Lifestyle Communities

Since 1970, we have been actively involved in the development and management of Adult Lifestyle Communities. These communities are really private villages located in rural or semi-rural settings which offer an appealing lifestyle to the homeowners. Attractive bungalows designed for ease of maintenance are situated on private roads and services.

Recreational amenities geared to the adult family are provided for the homeowners in each Adult Lifestyle Community. At Sandycove Acres, near Barrie, for example, there are three recreations centres housing craft rooms dance halls, billiards and a very sophisticated woodworking shop. In addition, at Wilmot Creek, east of Oshawa, there are tennis courts, a golf course and a bowling green.

We know that the homeowners are the hearts of our Adult Lifestyle Communities. People of similar interests and ages bring to these communities a wealth of talent, energy and desire for fellowship. The homeowners take all the physical amenities that we provide and generate the lifestyle which has come to be a trademark of Rice's Adult Lifestyle Communities. As the developer and manager, we recognize that how the homeowners feel about their communities will dictate the success of the communities. It is therefore our desire and intention to continue to manage these communities in such a way that the homeowners will become our strongest promoters - for they are the chief spokespeople on behalf of a lifestyle to be enjoyed by the mature family.

Each of our Adult Lifestyle Communities have their own web sites.
