Active lifestyles are allowing more seniors to live long lives well part retirement. Many are turning to active adult communities as a means of not only remaining active but as an opportunity to live among other like-minded seniors. So what makes these communities so desirable? We will explore that question in this brief article.
Active adult communities are, for the most part, designed for seniors aged 55 or older who are looking to purchase a home inside a private community that promotes living an active lifestyle.
While most communities are focused on those over 55, a new wave of active adult community is emerging for married couples 40 and over with no kids. These couples, commonly referred to as “dinks”, have been growing in numbers in recent years and developers have begun to respond by either altering community by-laws or creating new communities to meet their needs.
Many of these active adult communities have state-of-the-art fitness centers that feature a wide array of cardio and strength training machines. Staff trainers conduct classes on yoga and other aerobic activity in a safe and monitored environment.
Those who like to walk or bike ride can enjoy paved walking and biking paths through the communities lush landscapes. Tennis players can enjoy the on-site tennis courts and golfers can enjoy area public and semi-private golf courses.
Many seniors and dinks are also attracted to the low maintenance homes available in these communities. Many are patio homes with vinyl siding, windows, soffits, and eaves. This low maintenance feature virtually eliminates the need for painting every few years and makes clean-up a breeze.
Developers have discovered that manufactured and modular homes offer the affordability and flexibility buyers. These also reduce construction times with reduced weather delays.
