What is an Active Adult or 55+ community? More and more, active adults are leaning towards a new way of living. Instead of staying in isolated single-family homes, active adults are making the move to 55+ communities, and neighborhoods specifically designed for their needs and preferences.
Active Adult communities allow for the perfect balance between assistance and independence. Residents can remain autonomous while still enjoying the perks of community living. Added security, various amenities, maintenance services, and social activities allow residents to engage as much or as little as they want within their new community. Here are the top 5 reasons to move to an Active Adult community.
