Active adult communities are designed and built to suit the requirements of both male and female seniors. Most often, homes in these communities please both parties. However, there are times when women prefer different things in their homes than men. Women, no matter what age, tend to be quite choosy and adamant of what they want in their homes. Here are some key features that 55+ ladies would love to have in their senior homes. Plenty of Closet Space – Women are always short of space when it comes to their cupboards. An ideal retirement home would be one with a large walk-in closet with clothes racks, space for shoes and a full-length mirror. The door locks to the closet should be safe and not the type that locks on its own from inside, as this can be a major hazard to seniors living on their own. Separate Baths – Sharing a bathroom with a spouse can be very irritating. He may mess the bathroom, take hours having a shower and may interrupt her time in the bath. However, as many homes do not feature separate bathrooms for his and her, she may be happy considering a bathroom with that caters to two persons, with a bath tub, shower cubicle, double sinks and a beautiful vanity table. A Well-Designed Kitchen –Most ladies like spending time in the kitchen concocting various tasty dishes. If this is the case, she may be looking for a home with a well-designed kitchen fit for a gourmet chef. She may require plenty of storage space, two-level counters, a kitchen bloc and high-end energy efficient appliances. A Guest Room for Family – All women, irrespective of age, love entertaining. For this reason, female seniors may look for a home with additional guest room/rooms for visiting family and friends. This will be the room where she can chat with her visiting daughter before she goes to sleep, or watch her grandson fall asleep in. A Porch with a Fantastic View – Front porches are a must in homes. They are inviting and very homely. This is a place where she can sit and do her knitting and watch the neighborhood or take in the scenery and enjoy some peace and quiet with her favorite book for company. It is also an ideal place for friends to gather over a good cuppa and reminiscence on the good old times! Community Requirements Women not only look for certain requirements in their homes, they also consider need other things in the community. Here are some key points that score high on the list of a senior female who is making a purchase decision on an Active Adult Community. - A Gated Community – Many senior ladies prefer homes with different forms of security, such as, gated communities with a security guard or a home with a high-tech security system. This makes them feel safe and secure. Check out some wonderful gated communities such as the Villa Toscana or the Shea Homes at Ardiente in Las Vegas, and a host more in other states across USA by visiting our website.
- Various Activities – Senior ladies prefer communities that offer them a range of choices when it comes to activities and entertainment. For example, they may like a community that provides art and craft facilities, spa treatments and swimming pool.
