What does the monthly fee include?

Who will manage Legacy?

Is there a deposit required to secure my home?
Yes. We are accepting fully-refundable Reservation Deposits to lock in your home location and price. Once construction begins, another deposit is required. Since every member of Legacy purchases their residence, you will pay the remaining amount due on your home at closing, securing the economic benefits of home ownership.
Will Legacy have transportation?
Legacy members are welcome to have their own cars and there is select covered parking available, depending on home location. Legacy will provide transportation to doctor appointments, shopping, social events and more.
Who will own Legacy?
Once Legacy is fully built, it will be owned by its members. The community, including The Health Center, is operated on a not-for-profit basis.
Are there charges for long-term healthcare at Legacy?
Each member of Legacy is entitled to up to 30 days of healthcare* as part of their membership, plus the cost of two additional meals per day. After 30 days, the member rate for a stay in the Health Center is significantly less than what comparable facilities charge. Legacy offers an optional healthcare contract to limit your healthcare expenses if needed. *some restrictions apply.
