First Boomer Master-Planned Community Targets 55-Plus

The Colby is one of the plans designed to appeal to a wide variety of 55-plus consumers.

SAN MARCOS, TX—Brookfield Residential Properties’ Kissing Tree is the first baby boomer master-planned community for those aged 55 and beyond, and the first of its kind in San Marcos. The 3,200-home community is located on 1,332 acres in Central Texas, halfway between San Antonio and Austin in the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

Kissing Tree was designed to change the way baby boomers envision the next phase of their lives, including retirement. The community will feature not only a collection of indoor and outdoor amenities at the community’s social focal point, called The Mix, but it will also include an 18-hole golf course, an 18-hole putting course and a clubhouse, opening later this year. Hundreds of acres will be reserved for parks, trails and green space. Upon completion, there will 15 scenic miles of trails for hiking and biking.
