FAQ

Why are some communities missing from your site?

We make every effort to give you a comprehensive list of ALL 55+ active adult and retirement communities. The great news is there are literally thousands of communities available throughout the country, the trouble is it takes a long time to find, research and publish information on certain communities. At times, we are unaware of a community’s existence, and other times we are going through the lengthy process of gathering information and pictures on certain communities. The only reliable way to be sure we have all the most up-to-date information is through help from the people who use our site. So if you would like to add a community, contribute information or pictures of a community, or edit information about an existing community, please contact us so we can update our site!

Won’t it cost me more to use a realtor?

No! When searching for a new home the Real Estate agent is paid a fee by the seller. That means that the person who is selling the home (either the developer or home owner) pays the fee of the Realtor who helps you find the home. On top of that, our 55places.com Partner Agents are top notch agents who are very knowledgeable on market conditions. They will be able to help you find the best deals. They have a wealth of information about these communities and they can help inform you what to look for and what to avoid.

Won’t I get better information by just visiting a realtor or contacting the development?

Yes! That is precisely why we want to put you in contact with the people who can serve you better. While we make every effort to ensure that our information is 100% accurate, it is inevitable that things change. If you find any information on our site that you feel is inaccurate, please let us know. In the meantime, we want to provide you a “one stop shop” for all of your research needs before you move onto the next step of making a new home purchase in an active adult community.
