Is a 55+ Active Living Neighborhood For You?

As buyers consider their home options in their retirement years or as children are moving off to college, they may find themselves “right-sizing” or looking at their current home wondering what to do with the extra space. There are many reasons to consider making a move during this life transition. Here are four reasons why it may make sense for you to make the move into a 55+ active lifestyle community and a new construction home.

1. Floor Plans to Fit Your Lifestyle – In these 55+ communities, builders have taken careful consideration of who their buyer is when designing their floor plans. Most homes are single-story (with a few options for half-story add-ons), making it easy and efficient to move throughout the home. Accommodating guests is not a problem by virtue of open concepts great for entertaining and 2- and 3-bedroom options great for a short stay.
2. Home Maintenance for Your Current Life Stage – A new construction home can be a great investment for your stage of life, whether you are living on a fixed income or traveling often. You’ll enjoy greater savings year-after-year. The older the home, the more you can expect to spend every year on keeping it well-maintained, from roof repairs to replacing appliances like air conditioning units and hot water heaters. 
3. Monthly Investment on Fixed Income – New homes are also far more energy-efficient because of new appliances, windows, and insulation, which will make a big difference to your monthly utility bill. Additionally, included in most 55+ communities’ annual homeowner assessments is front yard maintenance, reducing your need to maintain your yard while away or keeping up with a service provider. Home insurance costs more for older houses, as well.
4. Peace of Mind with Newer Appliances & Home Warranties – From the latest circuit breakers to garage doors that won’t shut if something stands in the way, to roofs with radiant barriers and the newest paint and finishes, newer homes are simply safer. New homes aren’t impervious to problems, but at least you know that many potential issues would be covered by your home warranty. You can’t say that about most older homes. Also, most third-party warranties won’t cover nearly as much as a builder’s warranty, therefore you have to be meticulous when reviewing your contract.
