Active adult communities are a great option for those in their 50s and 60s. They provide a variety of social groups and recreational activities. They may even offer Lifelong Learning classes or group travel programs. Yet most active adult communities consist of single family homes and villas set in a suburban environment. Are there similar urban high-rise communities for active adults?
For many urban-oriented empty nesters, the idea of an active adult high-rise community is appealing. A condo is lower maintenance than a single family home. Life in an urban high rise, with nearby neighbors and bustling city life, may be preferable to retirees who do not want to move to the suburbs. Yet before looking into the options, two important distinctions must be made: independent living versus assisted living, and age targeted versus age restricted.
