When considering where to live during your retirement, the choices can be overwhelming. It is important to begin by assessing your personal goals and desires in addition to considering location, renting vs. owning, social and recreational activities, transportation and possible medical needs.  55 retirement communities are often a good choice as they eliminate many of the problems one is hoping to avoid as their families mature and they find themselves entering a new phase of life. 

Some advantages of living in 55 retirement communities include freedom from home maintenance, a major burden that most homeowners would no longer have to deal with if electing to move into a maintenance free facility.  In addition, the opportunity to downsize offers a home that is much easier to maintain and more suitable for a retired lifestyle.  Some 55 retirement communities also offer assisted living services that you can trust, as well as transportation for trips and any medical needs. 

Typically, each resident or couple has a private apartment or suite but most 55 retirement communities also include a community dining room, gathering spaces, recreation both inside and outside of the building, and assistance with both daily living and possible medical needs. Payment may be on a rental basis or units may be purchased, similar to a condominium.  55 retirement communities are increasing in location, as are the amount of amenities they offer as more people see the advantages or making a move while they have many years to enjoy social and recreational activities. Retirement communities are attractive because they offer freedom from the responsibilities of home ownership as well as peace of mind for possible future. For more details please click here .
