About this term

Active adult communities emphasize fitness, recreation, and social activities. These communities typically feature extensive amenities (fitness centers, pools, clubs, activities) and programming. They attract retirees wanting social engagement and active lifestyles. Amenities justify higher HOA fees.

Pro Tip

Verify that the amenities actually match your interests and activity level. Having a golf course doesn't add value if you don't golf.

Example

An active adult community offers golf, fitness centers, pools, classes, clubs, and organized events for 55+ residents
