“ASK LAURA ABOUT REAL ESTATE”<br />
The Pros & Cons of 55+ Active Adult Communities<br />
Last week I appeared on The American Dream, a positive and informative national<br />
real estate show (the Las Vegas edition airs on Sunday mornings at 9:30am on<br />
ABC and I am a regular contributor 1-2 times a month on the show). I was talking<br />
about the 55+ age qualified communities in the Las Vegas Valley, and what the<br />
benefits are to living in one.<br />

Low or no-maintenance exteriors<br />
Opportunities to make friends with other retirees<br />
A quiet environment<br />

Lack of age diversity<br />
Family members under the age of 19 cannot participate in activities<br />
No care services are included<br />
As the Baby Boomers reach retirement age, active adult communities are<br />
becoming more and more popular in the United States. These new retirees don’t<br />
see themselves as “old folks,” so the idea of a senior living community that offers,<br />
and even facilitates, an active lifestyle is appealing to them. Ditching exterior<br />
home maintenance chores frees residents of active adult communities to enjoy<br />
their retirement years and do more of the things they love. So, common sense<br />
tells us that not only do these communities offer a healthy and enjoyable<br />
lifestyle, they also appear to be a good real estate investment. The everincreasing<br />
demand for active adult communities virtually insures the future<br />
values of our properties. Not to say that any real estate market isn't going to<br />
have peaks and valleys, but in the long run my opinion is that one of the best<br />
investments one can make is in our 55+ communities!<br />
