"We're mother and daughter, and we're both widows. We're from California originally, but my mom had been living in Arizona for the last couple of years. I didn't want my mom to be alone there, so a few years ago, I said to her: Why don't you sell your house, come live with me and my kids (24, 21, 18, and 13) for a bit, and then we'll just move to Texas together."
"I always liked to vacation in Texas. I feel like life in general is a little slower there than it is here in California. It feels like there's more of a sense of community in Texas. People know their neighbors, whereas in California, I feel really disconnected. I only know one of my neighbors, and I've lived in my current house for the last six years. Affordability was another factor. We really were planning to move to Texas, but that obviously didn't happen."
Mother and daughter, both widows, planned to move from California to Texas for affordability, slower pace, and stronger neighborhood connections. The daughter invited her mother to live with her and her four children before the planned move. The mother valued multigenerational living and watching grandchildren grow. While exploring housing options closer to home, they visited Silverwood, a new affordable multigenerational community in Hesperia near Apple Valley. They were impressed by the neighborhood's design, attention to aesthetics, clean open spaces, and amenities such as pools. They bought a home in Silverwood earlier this year and decided to remain in California.
