Have you considered the benefits of living in a 55+ community?
The Jupiter Florida area is a great place for retirement or preretirement aged residents. If you are 55 or approaching the age for an active adult community in Jupiter Florida, you might be weighing the pros and cons of buying in. When you purchase a home or condominium in a 55+ community, your investment is not simply in real estate – you are buying in to a lifestyle. Different 55 and over communities are right for different folks, as not all are created the same. There are things to consider before you purchase a property in a planned active adult community.
4 Benefits of Living in a 55+ Community
You must first determine whether you qualify to live in a Jupiter Florida 55 and over community. While rules vary by community, as you might imagine, the first qualification is being 55 or over. Many active adult communities stipulate that one person in the household must meet that age requirement. That does not mean that everyone, who lives there, will be 55 or older. What if you are 55, but your spouse is not? In most cases, that is okay, but many adult communities will set a minimum age for spouses – usually 40 years old. Do you have children living at home? Well, that’s no big deal if your kids are college aged or older, as the standard minimum is 18 years old. Now for the benefits of living in a 55 and over community.
1. Sense of community
Most folks, who are considering moving into these planned communities, are looking for like-minded people with whom they can form friendships. Whether you are single or moving in with a spouse, you can benefit from reforming close friendships that you might have abandoned during your child-rearing or career-building years.
2. Feeling of safety
Many planned communities offer a sense of safety with tight-knit neighbors, who watch out for each other. Others offer safety patrols, which is ideal for anyone, who is moving in alone. Some of these neighborhoods are gated, which is proven to lower the risk of opportunistic crimes, like burglaries.
3. Low-maintenance living
If you are tired of lawn care or the cost of simple exterior maintenance that comes with home ownership, you will enjoy the benefit of low or no-maintenance living in a 55 and over community. Most 55+ communities are ultimately low-maintenance, which means you have more time to enjoy community amenities and events.
4. Age in-place
Even though many 55+ communities are built around activity planning and include gyms, tennis courts, pools, and clubhouses, some are also designed to accommodate aging residents. You might not be thinking about becoming an aging senior when purchasing a property in a 55 and over community, but many offer residents the ability to live there comfortably well into their senior years.
