The waitlist

How the waitlist works

Grand Villa is nearly full. Homes come up for sale from time to time, and the waitlist is how Cory knows whom to call. Here is the whole path, from your first call to moving in.

Six steps, in order

  1. Put your name on the list

    Use the form on this page or call. Tell us what you'd like in a home. It takes about two minutes.

  2. Visit

    Walk the street with Cory, see the homes from the outside, and ask about anything: the lot rent, the rules, the bus stop. Ask to visit.

  3. Hear from Cory when a home is for sale

    Each home is different in age, size and condition, so Cory will tell you what's available and whether it fits what you asked for.

  4. Arrange to buy the home

    Pay cash, or apply for a loan with a lender that finances homes in communities. How buying a home here works.

  5. Apply to live here

    This is separate from any loan. You apply for residency, the community verifies age as federal rules for 55+ housing require,14 and you sign the homesite lease at the current lot rent of $405 a month.1

  6. Move in

    Your own house, your own front door, and parking for two cars.

Two different approvals

People often mix these up. Living here and borrowing money are two separate decisions, made by two different parties.

From Grand Villa

Approval to live here

Everyone who buys a home here applies for residency with the community and signs a homesite lease. As a 55+ community, Grand Villa verifies age during the application, in person, as federal rules for 55+ housing require. We never ask ages on this website.

From a lender, only if you borrow

Approval for a loan

If you pay cash, skip this. If you finance the home, you apply with a lender that makes loans on homes in communities. That decision is the lender's. Grand Villa doesn't arrange, quote or approve loans.

While you wait

  • Read what the lot rent covers and add up your own monthly number.
  • If you're selling a house to move, it helps to know roughly what it will bring.
  • Walk or ride bus Route 6 once to see how it fits your week.
  • Bring a family member on the visit. Our page for families has a printable list of questions.
