This beautiful community spans a square mile and is home to 9,000 residents or one-third of the population of the City of Seal Beach. Within its gates are great things to do such as tennis, swimming, lawn bowling, dances and more. When construction began on Seal Beach Leisure World in 1960, it was the first major planned retirement community of its type in the nation. The first residents moved in on June 6, 1962.
 
The Golden Rain Foundation (GRF), a non-profit corporation, was established as the sponsoring body of Seal Beach Leisure World. The GRF engages primarily and
specifically in furnishing community facilities and providing services to housing operated on a cooperative. The GRF acts as a trustee for the Mutual Corporations who are the "landlords" of the residential property and housing.

Seal Beach Leisure World is comprised of two types of property ownership: the cooperative unit, in which the owner is a shareholder in the housing corporation, and whose ownership is evidenced by one share of stock and the right to occupy the apartment; and the condominium, in which the owner has a deed to the apartment and an undivided interest in the Mutual's assets. In both cases, the Mutual Corporation maintains the structure and related grounds.

There's a fare-free mini-bus transportation system that services all areas of the planned community and nearby shopping and an enormous swimming pool and hot pool with full-time lifeguards and shower/dressing rooms.  There is also a 9-hole, three-par golf course with putting greens and pro shop, 4 convenient clubhouses with 12 fully equipped kitchens, and 17 meeting rooms and lounges with fireplaces. Residents enjoy popular movies on theater size screens, a 2,500 seat amphitheater with fully equipped stage, and a summer entertainment series featuring well-known professional entertainers.

In addition, a wide variety of religious, political, fraternal, service, self-improvement and hobby organizations flourish in the community. Add five woodworking and art studios for painting, ceramics, lapidary, and jewelry making, plus two well equipped sewing rooms, courses and workshops offered by the local community college, lawn bowling courts, horseshoe pits, shuffleboard courts, ping pong tables, pool and snooker rooms and you can see why this is the premier retirement haven!
