Are you preparing for your golden years? From staying active to downsizing, the benefits of active adult communities are worth considering before you make your next move.
To clarify, an “active adult community” refers to a community designed specifically for adults, usually age 55 and older. Now, let’s look at the benefits of active adult communities.
Location, location, location!
For starters, active adult communities tend to be in prime locations. More specifically, these neighborhoods are close to dining, shopping, recreation and other community services.
Low-maintenance living.
Active adult communities offer residents a relatively low-maintenance lifestyle. Lawn care and exterior maintenance are often part of the package deal.
That means no more mowing, raking leaves, weeding flower beds or even repairing a loose shutter, for example. Hence, more time to do what you want.
The right size.
Say good-bye to unused rooms and spaces that just mean more for you to clean. Say hello to the ideal number of bedrooms, bathrooms and overall square footage!
It’s easy to make new friends.
In an active adult community, your neighbors are your peers. This means they are at a similar stage of life with similar interests. Thus, it’s easy to make new connections and expand your friend group.
Amenities made for you.
Once again, an active adult community is designed with active adults in mind. Therefore, residents can expect resort-style amenities that encourage activity.
Think community pools, gardens, clubhouses, walking trails and more.
Special events and programs.
In addition to the amenities, there are tailor-made programs and special events. Oftentimes, community-wide events, from game nights to bingo to educational programs, are customized for residents’ interests.
They are also designed to promote engagement, interaction and active lifestyles.
