Active 55+ communities are apartment and resort-style senior housing communities specifically designed for older adults seeking independent living without the hassle of home upkeep.

These housing options allow residents to enjoy the benefits of luxury community living without worrying about the maintenance, costs, and chores associated with homeownership. There are a multitude of benefits to seniors interested in 55+ housing and for those who may need care in the future, and Pacifica Senior Living is the perfect option.

These communities feature single-family homes or newly renovated private apartments at affordable prices, helping seniors reduce living costs without decreasing their quality of life. These housing options are situated in prime locations near shopping centers, bustling neighborhoods, art districts, and beautiful landscapes to allow for the optimal living experience.

55+ residents tend to be active, sociable members of their community, and they love being able to get out and about in their neighborhood with friends and family. 

The Meridian at Laguna Hills is a beautiful, bright community in the heart of Laguna Hills, California, one of the most sought after areas in southern California. It's gorgeous courtyards, outdoor pool and proximity to fine dining and shopping options make it a great choice for active seniors. Similarly, Heritage Hills, A Pacifica Senior Living Community is conveniently located near Biltmore and downtown Asheville, as well as a number of wonderful restaurants and local shops.

Active adult communities provide affordable, low maintenance options for those looking to live among peers. Because of the age restriction, residents can enjoy living among other similarly aged people in quiet, friendly, environments, without sacrificing the activities and social atmosphere they love. We offer a variety of different housing options and floorplans which let residents enjoy a private, independent lifestyle, with the option for social engagement as they choose. It is the perfect balance between independent living and a neighborhood community, all in the heart of some of the most desirable neighborhoods.

Most of our 55+ apartments are also pet friendly, meaning you and your furry best friend can make a Pacifica community home together. We know the importance of pets, especially for older adults, and are happy to provide pet-friendly options in many of our communities.

Our aim with active adult communities is to provide seniors who still enjoy an active social life with a low maintenance environment where they can enjoy the company of peers while maintaining access to all their favorite activities and destinations. These lower cost options allow residents to continue in the lifestyle of their choosing - whether that be traveling, keeping active, visiting local attractions, or going on outings with friends - without having the worry of home upkeep and maintenance. They are care-free, homey communities specifically catered to the needs and desires of our active 55+ residents.
