BEST OF THE BEST PRESS RELEASE - ideal-Living


Wilmington, NC - ideal-LIVING magazine announces the 2nd Annual “The Best of the Best” in towns and residential communities in its Summer 2017 edition. These awards will also be posted at www.ideal-LIVING.com/2017BestoftheBest.


“Given the very positive response last year to our first ‘Best of the Best‘ feature,” said ideal-LIVING Editor and Associate Publisher Kelly Godbey, “we refined our selection process and created some new categories that we think better reflect the interests of our readers. The goal will always be to help retirees and families choose the place that’s 'The Best' for them.” Godbey added that “The Best of the Best” honorees for 2017 are organized into three broad groups—Destination, Life, and Home— with winners named in a total of 24 categories.


Ideal-LIVING editors have chosen Landmark Homes' Home Towne Square as one of the Best of the Best Floorplans for 50+. Nominations were submitted, the editorial committee then researched and chose those communities/developments they felt best represented the spirit of the category.


For more than 25 years, ideal-LIVING magazine has been a leading national publication for readers who are nearing retirement age or interested in relocating their families or businesses. Each edition of the quarterly publication is delivered to more than 100,000 homes. RPI Media, the magazine’s parent company, is based in Wilmington, North Carolina, and also distributes the comprehensive ideal-LIVING Choose Your Ideal Place Guide, as well as sponsoring the company’s signature ideal-LIVING Expo events each year.
