The phrase "adult community" sounds kinda funny to me. Is it like a pre-retirement community? Are there no kids allowed?

Answer to Mini-Hijack Part II:
The answer is "sort of..."
It's actually called "An Active Adult Country Club Community." It is a gated community built around a new golf course (neither Mrs. DA or I play -- go figure). By covenant, 80% of the residents have to be at least 55 years old or older. Children aren't allowed unless they're over 19. In other words, if you have college age kids like us, they can live with your for the summer or whatever. And, of course, grand children, etc. are always welcome. (We watch ours two or three days a week.)
We actually moved here after some friends did because Mrs. DA can use the facilities at the great clubhouse for her home business. There are also an indoor and outdoor pool, hot tub, sauna, exercize center, library, billiards room, computer center, workshop, meeting rooms, a multi-purpose room with a stage and a great restaurant and bar where the bartender pours a great drink. Also some great common areas to sit around and play cards or chess or whatever.
Fair number of Greek alums, too.
What sold me was sitting out on the patio of the club house, drink in hand, watching the sun go down over the golf course and the Front Range.
Pretty nice. And Quiet. Lots of party animals on our street, though.
