Betty and I have been in The Colony for just over 7 months. We love it. We have met many people through golf, paddle tennis, ping pong, and in our neighborhood, and all enjoy The Colony very much. I have not heard one negative. There are many activities, that we haven't as yet been able to join. We enjoy our home, and look forward to many years to come.
