Hi

My wife and I are nearing retirement and were contemplating 55+ active communities. Does anyone have ideas on the best websites to search for these ? Any thoughts on pros/cons of houses, townhouses, manufactured homes ,condos, etc. ? Please, all thoughts welcome. Thanks.

If you hear of a place look at the community's website. If they don't have one that may be a red flag.

Each person and situation will be different.

What have you told us about yourself and your musts / wants? (Climate, location, activities, interests, proximity to care, budget range...) ?

Some of us live rural, some urban.

Some live outside the USA, some live inside the USA.

We stay with hosts in many 55+ scenarios (From Del Webb communities to CCRC) Urban and rural facilities.

Some like it.
Some hate it.

We can help direct you if we know more about you.

There are several competing websites who offer 'ranking' of 55+ communities. (We aren't allowed to post those URL's or names in this forum)
