55+ Property Listings and Information !

What is the difference between retirement village and over 55?:

 

Despite the various ownership structures and names used, the key difference between over 55 communities and retirement villages is with the loan, license or lease arrangement. For over 55 communities, the agreement is over the land. In retirement villages, the agreement is over the building.

 

 

Can I live in a 55 plus community in Florida?:

 

In Florida 55+ communities there is a federal law that governs all our age-restricted communities. According to this law, at least 80 percent of the occupied units must have at least one resident who is 55 years of age or older.

 

 

What are the advantages of buying in a 55+ community?:

 

Amenities And Low-Maintenance. Perhaps the best perk of living in 55+ communities is that they provide amenities galore. Plus, home and community maintenance is usually taken care of, including home and landscape maintenance. Your HOA dues and fees will go toward covering maintenance costs.

The Gulf Coast of Florida has a large variety of retirement homes, from large active adult communities loaded with amenities, to 55+ condos restricted to adults only.
