Posted October 1, 2007

Asheville, NC., October 1, 2007 - The Retirement Net (RetireNet.com) today announced the launch of The Manufactured Home Community Living lifestyle on the world’s largest and most complete directory of retirement living, RetireNet.com. The Manufactured Home Community living lifestyle is just the latest lifestyle addition to RetireNet.com following on the heels of Upscale Community Living which is a directory of communities with homes in the $500,000 to over $3,000,000 price range. "The Manufactured Home Community Living section was a natural addition to RetireNet.com. As a matter of fact, the manufactured home retirement industry was the cornerstone of the Retirement Net when we launched in 1995” said Stephen R. Shultz, President and CEO of The Retirement Net. "What's interesting is how the manufactured home lifestyle has evolved over that time as some of the communities spill over into our Upscale Living section."

Hometown America and Equity Lifestyle Properties, two of the largest US REITs are anchor companies on this section and account for the bulk of the communities listed. “We are excited to work with Stephen Braun of Hometown America as one of the more innovative leaders in that industry,” added Shultz. “He’s pushed our tech department to do some things with his IT department that has added global functionality to our portal. It’s a win-win not only for Hometown but for our other clients as well.”

The Retirement Net's innovative portal technologies connect millions of people around the world with information about retirement living. Founded in 1995 by Stephen R. Shultz, The Retirement Net today is the top web property for retirement community living.
