Meet Becky
Becky J. believes Otterbein Tipp City is a great place to retire and make the most of your free time. She doesn’t have to worry about sitting at home waiting for someone to call — she is steps away from amenities, activities, and friends.
“The community is really nice, and it’s peaceful and quiet. It’s also a good opportunity to make new friends and reach out and experience new things, go new places, and just build a retirement life in a positive way,” Becky said.
