What People Are Saying

The reason I chose to live at the Hacienda came about while I was still working at Mission San Luis Rey Retreat Center as Director of Programs and Spiritual Director. The actual construction of the buildings began just after I retired from the Retreat Center. I thought how serendipitous. I could live close to my parish, stay connected to the Retreat Center as a Spiritual Director and continue to be in touch with my friends there. Then as a bonus I will be a part of a new community at the Hacienda where I expect to make new friends and be a part the life style there. There are no coincidences. I am grateful to God for this opportunity to begin this new chapter of life.

We are very excited for the opening of this residence in the fall of 2023. It seems to have everything we are looking for, plus the proximity to where we currently live is key.

I visited this facility while under construction but I can tell it is going to be beautiful with all the desired amenities. The new director and sales agent were most accommodating to listening and providing plans with suggestions. It is most obvious they want to build a well thought out community that the residents will love.
