Located in the city of Lake Forest, the 3.8-square-mile community offers resort-style living for people ages 55 and up.
  
  Associa’s Professional Community Management of California, or PCM, has managed the retirement community for nearly 50 years.
  
  "We are extremely pleased that Laguna Woods Village ranked so highly on this year's list of the best active adult communities," said PCM President Donny Disbro. "PCM is fortunate to work with dedicated boards who lead their community with an inspiring vision. That, combined with the most educated and innovative staff in the industry, makes Laguna Woods Village the best in active adult living."
  
  The rankings were determined by community listings that were viewed the most times on Topretirements.com. The top 100 communities all over the U.S. were chosen based on website visits between Jan. 1 to July 31, 2012
  
  Jerry Storage, Laguna Woods Village’s general manager, said the honor is well deserved. “No other community in the country offers as many advantages as Laguna Woods Village. With seven clubhouses, a 27-hole golf course, equestrian center, fare-free private bus system, and so much more…”
  
  The 27-hole golf course includes everything from putting greens to a pro shop with professionals on staff. The Equestrian Center offers horses, guided trail rides and instruction. Special events, including horsemanship camps, horse shows, and cookouts take place throughout the year. Residents can board their own horse or rent one, which allows family and friends to join residents for rides and activities. The neighborhood also offers tennis courts, five large swimming pool, shuffleboards and lawn bowling among its amenities for residents.
