4 Fantastic Features for Florida Senior Communities
-4 Fantastic Features for Florida Senior Communities-
Ranking as one of the best places to retire, Florida senior communities offer some fantastic features. The Tampa Bay area, particularly, boasts a unique selection of active living community options across our coastal and metro regions.
As real estate professionals, we could talk all day about Tampa Bay’s array of community options with desirable home styles, perks, and amenities. To help make the selection process easier, we narrowed down to four features to help seniors choose their ideal Florida home.
Choosing an Active Living Community in Tampa Bay
As a thriving region with low taxes and an affordable cost-of-living, it is no surprise that Florida’s senior population is rising. Here is a quick glimpse of things to consider when choosing one of Tampa Bay’s active living communities.
- Custom Home Styles: The desires of senior homebuyers are ever-changing, and those of us staying at home more often are making our living spaces a top priority. Seniors want quality-built homes that are custom designed for active adults, including safety features and aesthetic appeal. Our real estate team can use size and style criteria to refine your search for quaint one-story homes, affordable villas, luxury townhomes, or high-end condos.
- Convenient Location: When it comes to location, you cannot beat what Tampa Bay has to offer in terms of weather, waterfronts, and attractions. Depending on your needs and lifestyle goals, you may choose a quiet waterfront home, a walkable 55+ community with nearby shopping, or a trendy place in the center of arts, culture, and entertainment.
- Amazing Amenities: Senior homebuyers are looking for easy-to-access amenities and services. Common features like a swimming pool and a Homeowners Association (HOA) to handle lawncare are basic requests, but you can widen those expectations to include so much more. Some senior communities have huge clubhouses and recreational facilities for social activities, classes, and lectures. Others offer high-end gyms and leisure activities like billiards, tennis, pickleball, bocce, racquetball, fishing, or golf. There are even communities with walking paths and community gardens.
- Pet-Friendly Features: A large percentage of seniors love cats and dogs, and some developers are taking notice by adding dog parks and pet-friendly features for active living communities. Let us help you weed out the communities with a no-pet policy, so that we can help you find the perfect place to enjoy with your furry family members.
Think about which features and amenities are the most important for you, and we will help you search for communities and find the homes that match those needs and lifestyle goals.
