Leisure World of Maryland
Classic Retirement Community

Discover Details That Aren't In A Brochure
Leisure World of Maryland, located in Montgomery County, and a suburb of Washington, D. C., was built in the early 60's and was a pioneer of large retirement communities. Today it is a classic and still is one of the best retirement communities on the East Coast and Montgomery County is fortunate to have it. It is everything a retirement community should be. It offers the classic amenities that people need more as they age:
* Quiet and serenity
* services
* medical services
* ease of living
*security features
Leisure World has all of them.

Leisure World's Visual Appeal The landscaping is one of the best things about Leisure World, and, of course, the smiles of happy residents. This happy demeanor seems to be catching as everywhere you go people are friendly and reach out to help but not too friendly as they pursue a smorgasbord of activities. The entrance to this retirement community in Montgomery County is particularly beautiful with a reflecting pool and large fountains surrounded by an artistic arrangement of colors from plant foliage and flowers. The large world globe, Leisure World's symbol, adds to the dramatic appearance of the entrance. The landscaping is one of the best things about Leisure World - very uplifting. Age can be difficult at times but this classic design and plan seems to have come from some master builder who really did get it!
