Are 55+ Communities Really "Retirement" Communities? 

Many people who live in age-restricted communities (usually for people age 55+) are still gainfully employed.   So why would they live in what is considered a "retirement" community?   Why not continue to live in a standard neighborhood?   People still employed choose age-restricted communities for the same reasons as people who are retired do:  the safety, amenities and sense of community that one can provide.    And whether employed or not, once the kids are grown, it is sometimes nice to live in a neighborhood where small children do not congregate.
