Independent Living for 55+ Communities

A perfect retirement? Say no more.

It is only natural that baby boomers feel some attachment to their homes. After years of paying the mortgage and pouring time, money, and effort into home improvements, it’s not surprising to know that 78% of retired American homeowners want to spend the rest of their lives in their homes. And who can blame them? With its comforting nooks, treasured memories, and low-rate mortgages, it’s understandable for them to not want to leave.

But not everyone is content to sit back and watch the world go by. Some are eager for a change of scenery, looking at life as an adventure waiting to unfold. In fact, one in five baby boomers is eyeing those trendy 55+ communities as the next big thing.

If you’re contemplating a move to a 55+ community or independent living setup, here are some pointers to kickstart your journey:

1. Do your research. Explore various communities, assessing amenities, proximity to attractions, and medical facilities.

2. Visit in person. Schedule tours to experience the atmosphere and get a feel for the community and residents that live in the area. Prepare to ask some questions, for this could be a great opportunity to learn more about the place.

3. Consider the area’s lifestyle. Choose communities that are aligned with your interests and hobbies, offering socialization opportunities.

4. Financial planning. Factor in monthly fees, entrance fees, and additional services, ensuring your budget aligns with your lifestyle.

5. Stay flexible. Finding the perfect community may take time, but the effort is worthwhile for a fulfilling next chapter.

Just imagine the perks of moving: leisurely strolls, golf carts zipping around, and perhaps a community pool to cool off during the summer. For those yearning for coastal living or mountain retreats, there are different independent living options to explore. From beachfront condos to snug cabins, the possibilities are endless. Let’s not overlook the allure of desert living, where you can bask in the warm desert sun, surrounded by cacti and majestic mountain vistas.
