If you’ve never thought of moving into an adult lifestyle community, you may want to reconsider. There are a lot of benefits to moving into a neighborhood with people who are mostly your own age.
Staying Active in Your Retirement
Once you retire, you’ve got time to enjoy yourself, take care of your fitness, and stay active. There are a few things you’ll want to be close by and convenient in your new home:
Physical Exercise
Keeping up with physical exercise is key to your long-term health. One great way to stay fit is cycling, an aerobic exercise that doesn’t put the same stress on your joints as running. Cycling is an excellent way to maintain your strength, keep a constant body fat, and improve cholesterol levels.
Enjoying Your Free Time
As you approach retirement, there’s probably a long list of things you want to spend more time on. Whether it’s golf, exploring new restaurants and culinary experiences, enjoying the arts, or more, an adult lifestyle community is close to everything.
Peace and Quiet in a Quality Home
Age-restricted neighborhoods promise peace and quiet. Not that it’s slow-paced, just that the people who tend to move into adult lifestyle communities are looking for something similar: upscale homes in a tranquil environment where they can enjoy themselves. If that’s what you’re looking for, check out Blythwood Homes in Niagara, a new home builder that focuses on master planned, adult lifestyle communities.
Neighbors Who Want to Have Fun
It can be a lot of fun to move into a neighborhood with people in your age group. Adult lifestyle communities give you an opportunity to make new friends, enjoy your leisure time, and find neighbors who share your interests.
One of the difficulties of making friends as an adult is that no one has time. The pressures of work and family life make it difficult to schedule time to make new friends and commit to seeing each other. But as you reach the later stages of your career and your kids have grown up and moved out, you can find yourself enjoying a lot more leisure time. Surrounding yourself with people at a similar stage in life means you can reignite an active and fulfilling social life.
The Benefits of a Master Planned Community
Another benefit to living in an adult lifestyle community is confidence that the neighborhood will maintain its consistency. Master planned communities have aesthetic standards and controls that help keep the neighborhood looking good and consistent.
In condominium townhomes the condominium corporation will handle exterior maintenance, including lawn work and snow removal.
Master planning also means consistent aesthetic standards throughout the neighborhood. You don’t have to worry about someone building something out of step with the neighborhood character or something that’s too tall and invades your privacy.
If you’re looking for peace and quiet, a neighborhood with an active social life, and confidence in your neighborhood, consider an adult lifestyle community.
