LOOKING FOR A 55+ COMMUNITY IN THE SURROUNDING ORLANDO AREA?

With great climate, lower taxes, beaches, lakes, attractions  and outdoor activities Florida remains the #1 retirement choice.  If you’ve decided that’s where you’d like to be, have you considered moving to an active adult or 55+ community?  The options are better than ever!

In addition to maintenance free home ownership, there are so many advantages:

1. Sense of Community: Know your Neighbors and Get Together with those with similar interests.

2. Amenities:  Golf courses, Swimming pools, Activity centers, Gyms, Restaurants,

3. Activities: Clubs, Organizations and Classes.  You’ll never be bored!

4. Active Lifestyle: Walking and Biking Trails, Tennis, Softball, Bocci and Pickleball (yes, pickleball)

5. Peace, Quite and Security:  Gated Communities

6. There are over 60 Active Adult Communities in Central Florida alone; definitely something for everyone!

I have highlighted 5 in which I’ve worked, each offering a wide variety of homes from starting prices in high 100’s:

Solivita:  Located in Poinciana, FL just southeast of Orlando, this community  just 35 minutes from Disney is First Place and Grand Prize Winner, Parade of Homes!

Del Webb:   Located in Davenport, FL southwest of Orlando and minutes from Disney World.  Del Webb offers a more intimate community with just over 800 homes by

Heritage Hills: built by Lennar and nestled in the hills of Clermont, FL.  This is a smaller 55+ community with just under 1200 homes.  The center of activity is the Community

Trilogy:   Resort style community built by Shea homes in Groveland, FL.  Just off Florida Turnpike and literally minutes from LakeRidge Winery, Trilogy offers latest in dining,

Lakes of Mount Dora    Mt.Dora . FL community 40 miles north of Orlando.  Pringle is the builder of these custom and semi-custom homes, a total of 950.   The Island Clubhouse

Each of these communities offer weekend getaway packages allowing you to come and stay for a few days and enjoy the lifestyle they offer.  It’s a great opportunity to go and meet the people who live there, tour the amentities and review their social calendars.  While you are there remember to ask about what is included in your HOA fees (lawn maintenance?, cable?) and what are restrictions (can children under 18 come and stay and for how long?).   The Baby Boomer Generation brought a whole new meaning to retirement living,  it’s not all shuffleboard and bingo and there is sure to be something to fit your lifestyle!
