YOUR RELOCATION FIELD GUIDE

Explore 55+ housing options

Compare the home, current occupancy policies, costs and activities you actually want to use.

Verify current occupancy rules

Obtain the governing documents for the community and property. Ask about age qualification, other occupants, guests and any restrictions relevant to your plans.

Check costs and amenity access

Separate association dues from club fees, transfers and special assessments. Ask which activities and facilities are included, which require separate memberships and who maintains the home’s exterior.

Picture your actual routine

Compare floor plans, access, maintenance and routes to your own destinations. Visit activities that interest you and contact community organizations directly rather than assuming that an age label describes daily life.
