Colonial Estates sits off Fones Road and 14th Avenue in Olympia, Washington, and offers affordable retirement living for people aged 55 and older, and if you walk outside you'll notice it's right across the street from the Chehalis Western Trail, which runs for 14 miles, so you see a lot of folks out and about, enjoying the fresh air, and there's something nice about being close to shopping, dining, and medical services because you don't have to go far when you need something, and with 184 sites for well-kept manufactured homes, folks live in their own homes which they own as personal property, but they lease the lot itself, so there's always a sense of privacy alongside community. Colonial Estates doesn't list amenities or special services, but there's a clubhouse available for activities, and you'll see flyers in both the DeTray's Sale Center and Colonial Estates lobby about open houses or other things going on, and if anyone wants to see what's available, the full-time home sales staff, whose office sits behind the mailboxes at Lot #118, can show homes and help people who are interested in buying. DeTray Family Enterprises, known for quality, service, and care in retirement housing, runs Colonial Estates, and they've built a reputation for keeping the park tidy and offering a consistent level of attention to the place, which matters to a lot of older people who want their home to keep its value and to have a quiet retirement. The homes here are owner-occupied, and the park's main focus has always been on giving people a comfortable and affordable place to live during retirement, without making things complicated or fancy. If folks want to learn more or see a list of homes for sale, there are websites like www.detraysllc.com for general Olympia home sales, www.lakeview-meadows.com for brand new homes in a 55+ community, and www.colonialinnolympia.com for a related community, so there's always a way to get more information.

Lovely park but privacy concerns
I live in this clean, well-kept 55+ park and love the landscaped yards, neat homes and big clubhouse-indoor heated pool and hot tub, exercise room, games and daily activities, friendly quiet neighbors, convenient to Lacey shopping and affordable with utilities/security included. Mostly wonderful, but I have mixed feelings because intrusive surveillance/constant watchers and a few staff/police incidents have raised privacy and safety concerns.
