Communities

When you are searching for planned retirement communities, consider several factors to determine if the community will be a good fit for you and your lifestyle.

First, consider the types of housing offered.  Some communities only have single family homes.  Others offer homes mixed with condos, town homes, patio homes, apartments, etc.  Decide if you like an eclectic neighborhood or a more traditional one.  And, of course, consider housing prices, as well as HOA fees.

Think about the year that the community was established.  Older communities will have established neighborhoods so you know exactly what you are getting.  They may also have maintenance issues.  Newer communities may not be fully constructed.  You may not know exactly how the neighborhoods will form, and there may not be as many residents for social events.

Consider the size of the community.  Smaller ones may be built all at once, with no plans for growth.  Larger ones are often built in phases.  Do you prefer a small community in a large city or a large community away from it all?

Think about the age restrictions imposed by the community and if children are allowed.  Do you want a younger feel in your new retirement spot?  Or do you prefer an older, more sedate one?   Most retirees prefer to live with residents of similar ages.

Also think about the amenities offered, location of the community and residents' states of origin.  These factors will also help you chose a community.  Once you have selected a few that look as though they might be good fits, the best thing to do is to visit them.  Many offer discount accommodations for just that purpose.
