Retirement Community Visitor programs usually offer a 2 or 3-night stay (although I have seen some 4 and 5 night offers), with some restrictions, usually from newer communities, to "try-out" their community at a usually more reasonable rate and may include some free offer.
Guest programs allow you to visit and tour a community and area and get details you may not have in the brochure. Of course, there may be a sales presentation that you must agree to attend. You go as a prospective purchaser and it should be a positive learning experience and at the same time a lot of fun. If it is an over-55 community, there are rules regarding age restrictions.
Enjoy the facilities during your stay-- If it's a golf community, may offer a free or reduced rate in the Guest Program. Offers vary a lot so check with the community.
Visitor Programs - Getting to Know an Area:
Retirement community visitor programs also give you the chance to travel outside the community, as you are free to come and go.
If you are touring a whole state or region, you could possibly combine several guest programs.
The following are a few selections for you to browse:
Arizona and the West - We have already talked about the program at Robson Communities in Arizona on our Arizona page. This is one of the best guest programs I have seen. For instance, recently I saw they have a Preferred Guest Getaway for $99 for 3 nights (please verify as information can change and also see the restrictions and rules for programs.)
The other nice thing about this program is that Arizona is the gateway to the West and is a good starting point if you wish to tour the other western states of California, New Mexico, Utah. Robson's guest program also has a community in Texas that is part of the program. We cannot guarantee availability since space is limited so make your reservation soon.

WCI Communities has a "Preferred Guest Getaway" program. See their website for details and ask for a Community Specialist to help you plan your trip and learn more. Rates vary by season and accommodation. WCI Communities Sun River in St. George, Utah, has a guest program to experience the Sun River lifestyle by staying in one of their Villas. Stay for three days and two nights for $149 per couple. (Please, as usual, verify rates, offers and availabilties as these can change and see restrictions.) Sun River
There are many more and you should ask if you are interested in a particular community. Fall is a particularly good time to travel and there are many "getaways" available at our communities. Start planning for your retirement years now by viewing communities. Also, see our
