After retiring from life as a military family, Gary and Debra Seney traveled for two years throughout the western United States, Hawaii, Australia and New Zealand. In each place, they looked at homes.
While each place had its distinct advantages, the one constant they found, according to the couple, was the quality of each region's age-qualified communities by Del Webb.

Eventually, the couple chose Sun City Aliante in the northern portion of the Las Vegas Valley.
"One of the reasons we liked the Sun City lifestyle is that it had its own clubhouse where we could swim and work out in the morning," Gary said. "That's our together time."
The resort-style, age-qualified community is situated around the fairways of the Aliante Golf Club and offers seven single-story floor plans ranging from 1,155 to 2,105 square feet with as many as three bedrooms and two baths. All of the homes come with a two-car garage.
The Seneys said they chose the community, in part, because of Nevada's mild winters, lack of state income tax and the proximity of the community to so many completed and planned conveniences.
The couple chose the Heather floor plan. The 1,155-square-foot home offers two-bedrooms and living and dining room area with open ceilings. Gary modified the great-room area so he and his wife could spend time together while pursuing their separate activities.
"My wife's an artist and I built her a little studio in the corner where she can work on her art and we can still be together," he said. "This home is so special for us -- my wife and I both wanted a new home, one we could decorate and put our own signature on. We feel fortunate that this opportunity came along when it did."
Since moving in, the Seneys have become regulars at the fitness center and swimming pool and make time to explore the community's trail system on their mountain bikes.
