Just an FYI, over 55 communities are not the same as assisted living
Ha! Indeed they are quite different. Good catch!

They have a lot of info on their communities but not much on the surrounding area, I want info on what's nearby such as beaches, malls, hospitals...etc. An extended visit is a must, the community is only 50% of the picture, amenities are the other 50%. Good luck in your search, i don't think you'll get much info here though.
We are part time Jersey, part time Florida. Our place in Florida is in The Cascades in Sarasota. Couldn't be happier. 20 minutes to Siesta Key.

Believe it or not, some people don't "work".


Believe it or not, some people are done "working", but have already paid their dues earlier in their lives.
Believe it or not, lots of people "retire" even before 55...tons of them, including families with young kids.
Believe it or not, some people inherit additional resources.
Believe it or not, most poor people don't choose to live in SRQ, or can't.

I grew up in Cranford. Graduated class of 79'. Looking to get down to Florida too (I'm in Baltimore now). Checking out between Bradenton and Ft. Myers. Going down in early October to check things out.

Trying to be less than an hour from either Tampa or Southwest International Airports and less than an hour from beaches.
