Are you 55+? Here’s why you should join an active senior living community
                     Are you 55+? Here’s 
why you should join an 
active senior living 
community
 The share of people aged 65 and above in the total population of USA is 
projected to increase from 16.9% in 2020 to 22% in 2050. As the elderly 
population rises, people are becoming increasingly aware of how to live 
worry-free in their golden years. Today, Americans often plan to retire 
early at the age of 62 since they can receive 
Social Security retirement benefits at this age itself.
 It’s therefore important to start planning for a relaxed post-retirement 
life even earlier. Those who wish to live independently after 55 while also 
having access to convenient amenities, it’s a good idea to join an active 
senior living community. An example is a 55+ community, an established 
active living area where at least one resident above 55 can live in each 
property.
 Here are the many reasons why you can consider being a part of an 
active senior living community after you turn 55.
 Affordable cost of living
 Houses in 55+ communities are usually small, and you may find them in 
areas with townhouses, condos, and apartments. These small units are a 
good way to downsize your life when you are beginning a new chapter.
 The average monthly rent in USA is more than $1,300 in 2023. 
Americans who wish to move, need to pay even higher prices. But you 
can purchase a retirement home in an active senior living community at 
a much lower price. The monthly cost of living varies from one state to 
another.
 Moreover, property taxes are usually lower in such a community since 
they necessarily don’t have to support after-school programs and school 
funding like other residential neighborhoods do.
 Widespread locations
 You can find a reputed 55+ community in nearly all the major states in 
the US. For instance, you can find it in Connecticut, Massachusetts, 
Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South 
Carolina, and other important states. So, it’s easy to find a retirement 
home in such a community in a suitable location. Often, as an added 
advantage, a 55+ community is strategically located near quality 
healthcare facilities.
 Multiple amenities and low-maintenance
 A great benefit of joining an active retirement community is that you 
can get abundant amenities. Also, the maintenance of the home, 
landscape, and the entire community is often taken care of.
 If you become a part of a top 55+ community, you can access various 
amenities as follows to make your life easy and vibrant:
• Hair salon
• Multi-denominational chapel
• Game room
• Billiards room
• Craft room
• Computer room
• Movie theater
• Gym
• Serenity room
• Community room with a kitchen
• Library
• Mailroom
 Safety and security
 Our active senior living communities utilize security technology and are 
strategically located in places with low crime rates. If you have guests, 
they will generally have to be approved by the residents of the 
community. Therefore, there’s no cause for worry regarding safety.
 A 55+ community also offers a peaceful and loving environment where 
elderly people get to live together in harmony. For all these reasons, it’s 
good to join such a community to live a stress-free independent post-
retirement life.
