Hawthorne was the creation of
Colonial Penn Insurance Group, the American Association
of Retired Persons (AARP), and the National Retired
Teachers Association (NRTA). While
Florida retirement community, Hawthorne, was
designed with careful thought given to location,
climate, personal safety, transportation, medical
services, comfort, recreation, and cultural and
educational activities, we think our residents
are our greatest success. Hawthorne is noted for
its friendly spirit and making new residents feel
right at home.
After Hawthorne was established,
the residents of Hawthorne worked together to
purchase the community from Colonial Penn and
formed a cooperative government. We share all
the benefits of total ownership including all
common facilities, one of our many unique differences.
Today, Hawthorne at Leesburg is a thriving community
of approximately 1100 homes. We are financially
sound, with no debt and over $2 million dollars
of invested reserves. And, we are still growing
with the addition of over 6,500 square feet to
our multi-million dollar recreational facilities.
Because the funds were already in our reserves,
no debt was incurred to cover the expansion –
another advantage of being a resident-owned community.
Our long-standing sense of community
and proud traditions are guiding Hawthorne at
Leesburg into the future.
Come join us… Enjoy life
here and call Hawthorne your home.
