As one of the most popular states for an active retirement, California offers plenty of resort-style communities where residents on a budget can find their dream homes. They typically offer homes in a wide range of sizes and styles, including models priced under $200,000.
The ideal retirement varies from person to person. Snowbirds for example, or those that like to migrate south for the winter months, are seasonal residents of active adult communities. Here are 10 communities that welcome snowbirds and have plenty of amenities and warm weather.
