Snowbirds, Rejoice: These 55+ Communities are a Slice of Paradise
Posted: March 22nd, 2013
The Perfect Places for Snowbirds to Settle
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, 1 in 5 Americans will be over the age of 65 by the year 2030. While a majority of seniors indicate that they wish to stay in their current homes as they age, many are beginning to look into 55+ communities as their place to retire, relax, and enjoy their golden days.
Here’s a thought for those of you who have retired and are still living up north: why not try a winter home a little further south? We imagine winters can be exhausting for our northern neighbors. Our average temperatures in the winter months are around 50 degrees, with a healthy number of potential beach days scattered in between. You deserve a little extra sunshine in your line after all the hard work you’ve put in over the years!
Luckily for snowbirds coming to the Space Coast, Viera and the surrounding areas feature a number of beautiful age-restricted communities that would make the perfect setting for this next stage of their lives. If you're looking for a home in Viera as you plan your retirement, consider a home in an age-restricted community. These neighborhoods offer you the freedom of an independent lifestyle paired with a close-knit community, extended safety measures, and homes and apartments designed to suit your lifestyle.
