Where does a postal employee go to retire? Some postal retirement seekers look to Florida for retirement living ...and where better to live than in a postal retirement community with nothing but other retired postal workers living next to you? No dogs allowed! The community is restricted to union letter carriers. Residents must be members in good standing with the National Association of Letter Carriers(NALC). The postal community offers a strong sense of community, a golf course is a half-hour away, twice a day a Nalcrest van transports residents to Lake Wales for a nominal fee for shopping, doctor appointments and other errands, and its 500 apartments are clustered in 66 one-story buildings spread over 153 acres around two large lagoons popular with residents who fish and boat. Another 150 acres of undeveloped land surrounds the complex. Sunny Florida breezes sweeten the air with the aroma of retirement. ...and read the National Geographic article on Nalcrest at: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0407/feature7/index.html
