Age-restricted communities require at least one resident be 55 or older in some developments. Verification occurs at purchase and upon residency changes. Age restrictions preserve community character and create active adult environments. Some communities have graduated age restrictions (45+) or specific percentages (80% over 55).
Pro Tip
Check how strictly the community enforces age requirements before you buy—some are flexible, others are very rigid.
Example
A 55+ community requires proof of age for at least one owner, typically through birth certificate or driver's license.
