Living in a 55 and over retirement community is a magnificent luxury for those looking to be surrounding by their own generation during their wonderfully mature years later in life. Most 55 and over communities cater to the needs of relaxation and activities providing some sort of amenities that may include pools, spas, exercise rooms, outdoor BBQ, a club house for gatherings, arts and crafts, social events and more. The 55 and over community goal being to give the residents a life of comfort, joy, and fulfillment.
A retirement 55 and over community, or active adult community, is a very broad, generic term that covers many varieties of housing for retirees and seniors – especially designed or geared for people who no longer work, or restricted to those over a certain age. The common age is 55 years or older. This is where the term "55+" is derived.
An active adult 55 and over community differs from a "retirement home." A retirement home is a single building or small complex where no “common areas” for socializing exist. Most active adult 55 and over communities are planned specifically for that socializing purpose, and have special facilities catering to the needs and wants of retirees, including extensive social and active amenities.
