More older Americans choose age-based communities
A couple of exceprts from a Marketwatch article on the benefits of 55-plus communities:
Moving doesn't mean moving far
By and large, 55-plus Americans move into age-based communities to live closer to another family member. Increasingly, older Americans are moving into age-qualified or age-restricted communities not far from where they presently live.
Downsizing doesn't really mean downsizing
Another reason Americans 55-and-older gave for moving was to upgrade their home's quality and in some cases -- though not always - to buy a smaller home. Many older Americans are moving into homes with less than 2,000 square feet.Aging boomers also moved to 55-plus homes that had plenty of community amenities, in particular open space and recreational facilities, such as a community center or club house, a golf course, walking/jogging trails, a beach, park or shoreline. For some, the desire to be closer
to work was a big reason to move.

Another great Active Adult New Homes Source. This is a great source for Snow Birds located in NY, NJ, CT, etc... They have communities in FL and AZ which are more like resorts vs. communities. Everyone that is really interested in a 55 plus community - this is the life!
