Cooper Life. “There is nothing quite like it“. Spa and Wellness Living á la Cooper City!
By Susie Ellis

This article in the NY Times yesterday introduced more information about the spa lifestyle community concept that I am so fond of. Although they quoted me as saying “there is nothing like it” that wasn’t exactly what I said, because indeed there are other great wellness living concepts (like Canyon Ranch Living, Miraval Living, Cliffs Wellness Communitites etc.) and I gave them the link to our spa lifestyle real estate section.

But it is true that there is nothing exactly like Cooper Life, with Dr.Ken Cooper at the helm and such a strong emphasis on fitness and aerobics in particular. I was also amazed to learn that a hospital is part of Cooper Life as well as an athletic training center. I do think it is a great stride forward (yes I noticed the pun!) in terms of giving people the chance to truly live a healthy lifestyle. This article will probably help people understand that better. There is a big trend toward Spa Lifestyle Living (which we had predicted in 2004), and this is another great model. Yippy!
