Active Adult Communities
This housing choice has typically been found in the most popular retirement areas around the country. Most often these communities are designed for the active adult, pre-retiree and retiree who is looking for an active lifestyle. Such lifestyle interests include, golf, tennis sailing and other outdoor activities. Many of theses communities also offer extensive health and fitness spas. This type of community design is usually gated with condominium style units with one floor living in order to allow for ease of aging in place.
Most commonly the homes are for sale units, but rental properties do exist in
some communities. As with most of these housing options, the range of prices
and amenities vary greatly from community to community. These types of
communities are often age restricted as with Retirement Communities. As this
was once a housing choice that was most often found only in the warmer
climates, more and more of these developments are being constructed across the
country as the demographics of this age group continue to grow every year.
