55+ COMMUNITIES FAQ's

55+ communities, sometimes referred to as retirement communities, are communities with an age restriction for residence. Typical 55+ communities offer a variety of amenities for their residents, such as clubhouses, pools and spas, fitness centers, tennis courts, game rooms, crafts rooms, and scheduled activities. Most 55+ communities have residential covenants. These restrictions and guidelines ensure stable home values and a safe and friendly community for all residents.

Residency restrictions usually require one of each home’s residents to be at least 55, although specific age requirements will vary from one park to another. Some communities make special allowances for younger caretakers and legal guardians of residents. Even though most residents of 55+ parks are retired, many others continue careers while residing in their respective community. Consult with your sales agent for specific age requirement details in the communities we serve.

Most communities allow younger relatives to visit, usually with time limit restrictions, such as one or two weeks per visit. However, there are often rules in place that prohibit residents from allowing children and others younger than 55 from becoming permanent residents.
