Over 55 communities

Living in a community with a wide variety of neighbors with different lifestyles, ages, interests, and family structures can be an exciting and fulfilling experience. Everyone loves meeting their neighbor’s new baby for the first time, stopping by a summer block party full of local families, or learning more about a young new friend over coffee just a few houses down from yours.

Once you reach a certain age, however, you may find certain downsides to living near families that don’t keep the same hours or maintain the same lifestyle as you. Loud parties well into the night, shouting children in nearby backyards, or a constantly crying baby across the street are just some of the common occurrences in typical neighborhoods that can start to wear on you.

Are you finding that as you age, you’re craving a quiet community with like-minded people? How about a unique neighborhood with more of the activities you love and not just amenities catered to young families, like playgrounds and soccer fields? You’re not alone, and the community you’re dreaming of really does exist. It’s a 55+ community.

What Is a 55+ Community?

They’re famous for their distinct sense of community and camaraderie and the many desirable amenities that they provide. These communities are best for residents who desire a neighborhood full of similar people in age and lifestyle.

Who Is the Best Candidate for 55-and-Over Communities?

True Connection Communities are designed for seniors seeking an active and engaged lifestyle. Our 55 plus communities give older adults the freedom to connect more closely with family and friends and engage in exciting new adventures.

Consider a 55-and-older community if you are retired or of retirement age and relate to any of the following:

• Looking for new friends
• Looking for a safe community
• Desire to pursue new hobbies and/or interests
• Remain physically active
• Interested in dining out, shopping, and entertainment
• Want a maintenance-free lifestyle

Though these are some of the top reasons folks decide to move to a 55-and-older community, there are many more distinct draws and a host of exciting benefits.

Benefits of Living in 55-and-Over Communities

Before we dive into all of the benefits that residents of 55+ communities receive, it’s important to highlight one overarching benefit: the ability to maintain an active retirement.

Though many people look forward to kicking their feet up and catching up on some much-needed relaxation in retirement, some don’t. Instead, certain groups start to crave the busy schedule and a sense of purpose they once had in the workplace or raising their family within just a few years or even months. That is where the concept of active retirement comes in. It’s designed specifically for adults and seniors who do not want to be idle or inactive despite being retired.

Having an active retirement means much more than just keeping up your physical health and fitness as much as possible during your golden years. It means maintaining a regular social calendar, seeing family members regularly, diving into a hobby or interest, or prioritizing travel like never before—any combination of things that keeps you having fun, feeling good, and enjoying your retirement.

With True Connection Communities, active retirement is what we do best. Our residents enjoy an exciting and varied lifestyle where there’s always something to do, a friend to see, and good times to have. Ready to learn more about the specific amenities that our 55-and-over communities provide?
