Leisure World

Few communities in Maryland have a history as closely tied to the rise of planned retirement living as Leisure World. Developed in the 1960s in Montgomery County, this gated 55-plus community forms part of the suburban Piedmont north of Washington, D.C. Its layout brings residences, clubhouses and an 18-hole golf course into one established neighbourhood, giving the area a distinctly residential identity rather than the feel of a conventional town centre. The surrounding county is known for its dense Washington-area suburbs as well as preserved parkland, while Leisure World's own story reflects the postwar growth of purpose-built senior communities in the United States.
