Active Retirement Communities

With so many baby boomers retiring and downsizing retirement communities are on the rise. Florida has always been the retirement capitol because of the great weather and beaches – to name the obvious. These days, retirees can find active retirement communities that offer amenities such as lawn maintenance, golf courses, gyms, sport courts, activity clubs (bridge, wine, book discussions, fine arts, etc), pools, walking trails, dance classes, crafts, game rooms, libraries, and much more.

Retirement age does not mean “old,” and developers are realizing the high demand for active retired communities. The days of either a “downsized” home or a “nursing” home are gone. A young adult with a minimum age (on average 55+) can enjoy many amenities and still have luxury and style. Many of the homes in these communities even have garage space to fit a golf cart.

Although these communities have a minimum age requirement to buy in the community, only one of the homeowners needs to meet the age requirement. Homeowners fees tend to be a little higher for having amenities that go above and beyond, but the benefits outweigh the costs. Of course, the grandkids can still visit and may even live in the home as long as the minimum age requirement is met by one owner. The goal of these communities is to provide a lifestyle that enables a home owner to have access to many luxuries without having to go very far from home. One thing is for sure, it will be like being on vacation all of the time. Take time to look at these communities if you’re considering retirement, you may find yourself falling in love!
