Near-Retirees Choose Nearby Second Homes
Developers such as Taylor Johnson client Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort, a marina resort community in Illinois’ Starved Rock Country, report a growing number of baby boomers want to stay local as they plan ahead for retirement, with many purchasing a nearby vacation home they can easily enjoy now as well as when they fully retire. In this recent Daily Herald feature, empty nesters and Heritage Harbor residents Ann and Harry Hultgren share how the community’s proximity to their Chicago-area home, paired with its active lifestyle and waterfront location, make it the perfect second home for them now and for years to come.

Ann and Harry Hultgren enjoy outdoor activities such as boating, biking and hiking when spending time at their second home at
Heritage Harbor Ottawa Resort.
