While most of the country is still in a cold, snowy, deep freeze; Sandoval residents enjoy basking in the warm Florida sun. This is definitely the case for Lee and Bob Gerger; these retired Rochester, New York, natives purchased their villa in 2006 after viewing all the activities and amenities that Sandoval offers.
The Gergers take advantage of the various social events and activities; the couple plays bocce with other residents, but they also have different interests. While her husband Bob participates in a golf league, Lee plays mah jongg and Gameopoly, “There’s something going on every day,” says Lee Gerger. “You feel like you’re on vacation all the time.”
With its 7,500 gallon lagoon swimming pool, Sandoval provides the perfect year round or second home. Not only do residents escape frigid temperatures, but they also are relieved of monotonous tasks, like lawn mowing. The Gerger’s friends and family are also impressed with the community when they visit.
Gerger says, “They’re definitely jealous. When they call us here, they say ‘Don’t tell me what the pool temperature is today!’”
Sandoval makes the perfect place to retire or to raise a family. We love Florida, especially this area; we really like the Sandoval community. It’s not just older folks. You see children, there’s a dog park. We really enjoy it.”
Now is the perfect time to explore what the 524-acre Bonita Bay Group community has to offer. Right now Sandoval home and homesite packages start from the mid-$100,000s.
