The 450-acre Lawrence Welk Village Resort near Fallbrook has 574 units that are about evenly divided between its Resort Villas and Villas on the Green branded timeshares. Fredricks also said the average timeshare owner's household income is between $85,000 to $90,000, rather than the "super rich." He said the average timeshare owner is a lot closer to 47 years old than 77. Some of the larger units have fireplaces in both the living room and bedrooms.įredricks said he wants to dispel the idea that the company's timeshare owners are all seniors. The units each have kitchenettes, stacked washers and dryers, and individual temperature controls. Many are divisible or able to be "locked off" to provide separation when necessary. The units at Welk Resort properties vary according to location, but are all fully furnished.
