The Woods in Little River to go on the market, and senior residents organize to make an offer

Jim Culp reports on the potential sale of The Woods, a senior living community in Little River, where residents are organizing to put in their own offer on the property. Established in the late 1960s by architect Paul Tay, The Woods is currently home to 166 residents in 109 manufactured houses spread over 37 acres. Residents pay from $682 to $956 per month for "land rent," and fear that these rents will rise if the property is sold to an outside investor.
