Many retirees who once worried about maintaining their homes and the financial burdens that came with them have a lot less to worry about now. They’ve  reserved their place in line to get a new home at Fox Run by joining the Priority List.

Priority List members are afforded many perks not given to the general public. Once people join the list they are official “VIPs” at Fox Run, with a fast-track link to all the latest information at the community.

Here are some of the most commonly asked questions about the Priority List, answered by Carolyn Ives, retirement counselor at Fox Run:

Q: What is the Priority List?

A: The Priority List consists of people who

plan on moving to Fox Run. A fully

refundable $1,000 deposit per household and

a $150-per-person, non-refundable application

fee are all it takes to join and secure your place

in line. Then you pick the home styles you are

most interested in. When one of those becomes

available, you are given the right of first refusal

according to your Priority List date.

Q: How is my Priority List date determined?

A: Your position on the list is based upon the date you submit your 100% refundable entrance deposit. So the sooner you join, the better your choices. People are joining the list in droves. Unfortunately, every day you wait to call, another person, sometimes two, gets ahead of you in line.

Q: Do I have to be ready to move in right away?

A: No. Joining the Priority List simply gives you options. Once you are a  member, you will be contacted periodically when an apartment home that you are interested in becomes available. If you are not ready to move, just let us know and we’ll move to the next person. Unlike other communities, at Fox Run you never lose your spot in line.
