South Jordan, Utah — March 12, 2014. Tired of quiet afternoons after the grandkids leave? Consider new neighbors and a new rhythm. That is what Dan and Dona Shelly found after moving from California to Garden Park Village at Daybreak, an easy‑living neighborhood for people 55+.
A Move That Changed Everything
The Shelleys wanted an active community. They also wanted peers who love the golden years. They purchased their home in December 2012. Since then, life feels fuller.
“Our lives have changed drastically since moving to Garden Park and for the better,” said Dona. “We have a group of friends who we do everything with. Whether it’s swimming and going to the spa, playing games in our newly finished basement, or even hopping on the light rail system to go Downtown for a play. We are constantly on the go.”
Amenity‑Rich, Low‑Maintenance Living
Garden Park is designed to create less work and more free time. As a result, daily life stays easy and social. Residents meet for a stroll to the café, gather for games, or unwind at the spa. In short, there is always something to do and someone to join you.
Transit also helps. With UTA TRAX nearby, a night Downtown is only a short ride away. Explore walkability in the Daybreak plan and see why errands, entertainment, and parks fit within minutes.
Health Care, Close to Home
Another Garden Park perk is the University of Utah Health facility located within the larger Daybreak community. The 225,000‑square‑foot multi‑specialty clinic includes a 24‑hour Emergency Room as well as well‑known specialty services, including the Moran Eye Center and Huntsman Cancer. Being able to walk to a state‑of‑the‑art clinic was a major motivation for the Shelleys—and for many neighbors. Learn more about the campus at University of Utah Health – South Jordan.
