Many retirees in Massachusetts reach a point where they are ready to sell their longtime family home and move to a home that offers less maintenance, more convenience, and a greater sense of community. They want to remain independent and stay close to family, friends, shopping, cultural activities, and excellent medical care but are not ready for, nor do they need, an independent or assisted living community.
For many, a 55+ or active adult community offers the perfect next step.
55+ communities are age-restricted residential communities designed for active, independent adults. Typically, at least one resident must be age 55 or older, and permanent residency by children under 18 may be restricted. Unlike senior living facilities, these are neighborhoods of privately owned homes, townhomes, or condominiums where residents live independently and enjoy the privacy of their own home often with the added benefits of community amenities and a more carefree lifestyle.
Many 55+ communities offer clubhouses, swimming pools, fitness centers, tennis and pickleball courts, walking trails, and sometimes golf. Social calendars may include dinners, educational and fitness classes, book clubs, card and mahjong groups, outings, volunteer opportunities, and other activities. These amenities make it easier to meet new people, develop friendships, stay active, and enjoy this next chapter of life.
There are many wonderful 55+ and active adult communities throughout Greater Boston and Massachusetts, each offering something different. Finding the right one means considering not only the home itself, but also location, lifestyle, amenities, accessibility, healthcare, monthly fees, and the overall feel of the community.
