We have friends who found a great place. It’s an over 55 community…that has all sorts of activities for active seniors…swimming, pizza nights, movies, tennis, pickleball, mahjong, bridge, trips for arts events, trips for shopping, trips to interesting places, a dinner club…you get the idea.
Everyone owns their own house, but not the land it is built on. There is a HOA fee which covers all outdoor maintenance except annual plantings folks do. It’s about 250 homes, all with a master on the first floor. Lots of different housing designs.
The community provides a ton to do. Our friends found they only needed one car…because the community transport was so good.
No buy in other than your mortgage…but it doesn’t include any meals or health care. That’s something our friends will hire out if they need to.
Really, that would work for me!
Either that…or I want to move to NYC in a great apartment/coop/apartment. Maintenance belongs to someone else…and folks in NYC can walk to just about anything they need. And plenty of delivery!
