Are you considering downsizing and embracing the vibrant lifestyle of an active adult community? Perhaps you have a vision of the type of community you prefer, but you’re unsure which type of home suits you best, here to guide you through this exciting journey.
First, let’s explore the variety within active adult communities. Did you know there are options both with and without age restrictions? Determining your preference is the first step. Do you desire a community brimming with amenities? Are you looking for an HOA that takes care of mowing and yard maintenance? Once you answer these key questions, your agent can provide tailored information on the available homes.
Age-Restricted Communities
Age-restricted communities offer a hassle-free lifestyle where you can truly enjoy your time. No worries about lawn care or yard work—you can simply lock up and leave whenever you wish. These communities often feature a range of amenities such as outdoor pools, clubhouses, fitness centers, sports bars, barbecue areas, and the ever-popular pickleball courts. Many even have lifestyle directors who organize excursions, social gatherings, fitness classes, wine tastings, and more.
Housing Options
In these vibrant communities, housing options are diverse. You’ll find single-family homes and duplexes designed with ease of living in mind. Many homes feature first-floor bedrooms, second-floor lofts with additional bedrooms, or single-story layouts for optimal convenience.
Ownership models also vary. Some communities include land ownership with the home, while others operate like condo communities where the land is not owned by the homeowner, or they may be in a leased land community.
