Florida is the number one retirement destination in the United States. It is estimated that over 400,000 retirees flocked to Florida retirement communities in 2005, which was triple the number of people who moved to Arizona and California. In fact, 17 of the top 25 counties for retirement in the U.S. are located in Florida and over 17 percent of the state's population is over the age of 65. It is no secret that the weather draws many to the region, but many retirees are also attracted to the state's low property taxes and no income tax. Add to that the fact that almost every place in the state is less than an hour's drive from the ocean and it is clear to see why Florida retirement communities have become some of the country’s most popular.
History of Active Adult Communities in Florida
Active Adult Communities in Florida have always been popular. In fact, the state was first discovered by Ponce de Leon in 1513 when, ironically, he set out to find the "Fountain of Youth." Little did he know that four centuries later, the area would become a hit with older Americans looking for vibrant Active Adult Communities in Florida that would allow them to feel youthful and active. The state first started attracting a large number of retirees in the 1920s. Retirees flocked south from New England and the East Coast in search of a place that offered an escape from cold winters. The population has increased steadily since that time, largely due to a major influx of the 55+ crowd. Florida has grown over 14 percent since 2000 and is now the fourth most populated state.
