The Terraces at Towne Lake
Marlene DeBate has been at The Terraces at Towne Lake for over 12 years, having retired from New York to Atlanta to become what she refers to as a "full-time grandma". She moved in with plans to look for a house, but after shopping around, realized that her lifestyle of spending time with her family and traveling on cruises and to Las Vegas was best suited to a place she could lock and leave.
