My parents will be retiring and plan on snow birding between fl and ny. What would be their best options for an active 55+ community? Single-family houses only (no condo/townhouses), gated community with clubhouse, exercise room, and lots of activities/clubs. PSL, Stuart? Up to low $200s.

Also - any opinions of Vitalia or Cascades? One better than another?

Thanks in advance

It really hinges on what sort of lifestyle they would prefer. There are a multitude of options and you know your parents better than we do. What might be considered "best" for active, gregarious seniors might be a living hell for those who just want to keep to themselves and can't stand "make-busy" activities. There are obviously a lot of options to weed through, but narrowing down a "best possible scenario" might be a good start to help weed out the ones that don't meet your parents' needs.

Thank you, DanielAvery. I think paramount would be the exercise room and swimming pool activities. A community that has a host of activities available from crafts, to movies/shows, dances, social activities such as happy-hour, meet-and-greet, pizza night, etc., would all be things my parents would enjoy. Also perhaps organized "field-trips" so to speak with other members of the community.

I'm also wondering how fishing is in the PSL area? My father would love to pick up surf fishing again. I understand Stuart has a host of surf fishing spots.

I appreciate any/all advice you can give. Thanks again!

Cascades meets all of those requirements.

Vitalia (formerly Seasons) is much much newer and they are working up to what you are asking for. Still have to build the main clubhouse.

Cascades currently has 14 homes for sale up to $200, 000
