Buying a Home in a 55+ Community?
Here are a few things to consider
If you're thinking about making a move to a low-maintenance community during retirement, don't think of it as downsizing—you're right-sizing! Living in an active adult neighborhood comes with quite a few perks, but you should ask yourself some questions before making the lifestyle switch.
What do HOA fees cover?
Almost every 55+ community in Las Vegas is governed by a homeowners association, which oversees everything from neighborhood events and amenities to landscaping and architectural changes. HOA fees in these communities tend to be higher because of the additional services—so for some buyers, that convenience factor is worth the extra cash.
Ask your agent what your HOA fees will cover. If you're thinking about buying in a low-maintenance community, you might not have to worry about taking care of the exterior of your home or any landscaping!
What amenities are offered?
Active adult neighborhoods are so much more than just a place to live—they also offer an unparalleled lifestyle with resort-quality amenities. Depending on where you choose to live, your new community could come with an impressive amenities package. Clubhouses, tennis courts, pools, golf courses, and fitness centers are all common features. Some even include full-time lifestyle directors, as well as classes and events.
What types of homes are available?
Although most retirement communities offer low-maintenance single-family homes, you aren't limited to just a few options. Today's 55+ neighborhoods often come with a variety of floor plans and home types from which to choose, including patio homes, ranches, condos, townhouses, and much more. Your agent will be able to help you narrow down listings that meet your criteria.
What else is around?
If you're on the hunt for your forever home, you'll want to look beyond just the neighborhood. As you age, proximity to doctors and hospitals become more important. Luckily, Las Vegas is home to the top-rated Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, as well as Summerlin Hospital Medical Center. Be sure to factor in how close you'll be to shopping, dining, and any other must-haves.
