What is a 55+ Community community?

An active adult neighborhood is very different from a retirement home. Active Adults are people 55+ or older and have reached a financial stage of life where they can do what they enjoy. Active Adults do not need partial or full time care and engage in sports, hobbies and live life to the fullest. These neighborhoods have a vibrant and energetic social life and typically have a social events manager. Many communities only require one partner to be over 55, each neighborhood is different.

As couples age, they begin to want a slower pace and quite lifestyle. Many times they have a belief that a neighborhood with out children is quieter. This may or may not be true, but it is a vibrant real estate market never the less. These communities do allow children and grand children to visit for days at a time.

Is a 55+ community a good investment?

This is a hard question to answer, since every families financial position is different.
