What Should it Be? Close To Home Or Far From Home?


 
Health,Fitness
Older adults may find their old houses either too large or empty once their children have left them. They often consider moving to a smaller home where they can still enjoy a good and healthy life. Most senior retirement homes offer active adults a wide variety of styles of homes to select from. These homes may range from one to three bedrooms, separate living and dining areas or an open plan, two to three car garages etc. However, the final decision may well depend on your budget and the expectations you have in mind about how you wish to spend your 55+ lifestyle. Down below are some important factors to consider before making your final choice.

Location, location, location

First thing is where would you choose to live? This is an important question. Many active adults prefer to relocate to an area that is close to their family, friends and neighbors. This means selecting a community close to your neighborhood. On the other hand, if you are not really interested in staying in touch, then in that case the sky is the limit. So then, where would you wish to move? In what State could you see yourself living? Would you prefer a sunny California lifestyle in a community like The Orchard at Oakmont, Santa Rosa, where there is ample sun shine throughout the year, or Alaska’s Mountain Rose Estates, in Palmer, where you will be amidst snow for much part of the year? This is the initial step to take before going further in your search for an active adult community.

Budget

The next issue to ponder upon is your budget. What is the cost of home in a retirement community? It dependson how much you want to shell outto ensure life of leisure and excitement. Most of the communities that you will find are quite reasonably priced. However, super, luxurious active adultcommunities like Cascades at World Golf Village, St. Augustine, Florida have their comforts that make it all the more worthwhile. Yet, the concept of an active adult community is not beyond the reach of many, as you may be able to find communities that sell homes at lower price tags around $ 150,000 or less.Check out communities such as Southern Meadow, Magnolia for instance if you are looking for a house for less than $ 150,000.

Needs and Requirements

You should not relocate to a community just because the price is right. The most important thing to consider is that you move into a community where you will find what you want. If you have a passion for golf, than consider communities like Solera at Oak Valley Greens, Beaumont, California, or Trilogy at Vistancia by Shea Homes, in Peoria, Arizona. What type of community are you in search of? Is it a waterfront community, mountain community or resort style community? Another thing to consider is whether the community is in proximity to a doctor’s office or clinic, a hospital, grocery store etc? Once you have considered all these requirements, then you will be able to find a community for yourself.

The pleasure and benefits of living in an active adult community during your latter years will be quite unmatched. At ActiveAdultLiving.com, you will come across a wide variety of communities to select from that caters to individual needs of 55+ active adults. You will find fitness centers, pools, billiard, game, tennis courts, card rooms and libraries in and around club houses of these communities so that you never have to spend a day alone. If you are in search for an active adult community, down below are mentioned a few:

  • Spring Meadow – Smyrna, Delaware
  • Pine Manor – Carlisle, Pennsylvania
  • Fairways at Savannah Quarters – Pooler, Georgia
  • Heritage Hill Country – Fredericksburg, Texas
  • WestRidge – Hudson, Massachusetts
