A great deal of thought and planning goes into the creation of an over 55 community. This is one place where it’s truly all about the consumer. Developers carefully select the location based on proximity of shopping, houses of worship, golf and recreational as well as health care facilities. The development is designed to encourage neighborhood interaction. A clubhouse, planned outside activities and social gatherings are an integral part of community living.
Residents want the advantage of low to no-maintenance homes without having to worry about snow removal, landscaping and lawn care. Many find it easier to live part of the year here and winter in warmer places. The homes are designed for the over 55 lifestyle and are generally one-floor living. Many of these communities are newer with energy conscious construction – which translates to lower utility costs.
If you are in this age group, be sure to research several communities before you decide. Like everything else, cost and amenities vary greatly from community to community.
