Why are Active
Adult Communities So Expensive?
This is a common question - why are
active adult communities, whether they be age-targeted
or age-restricted, so expensive?
Generally, the answer is because they have a lot
of amenities, services and facilities that regular
neighborhoods just do not have. Active
adult developments, especially newer ones, like to think
of themselves as resorts, and in many case, they come
close. Resort-style
swimming pools, large, lavish clubhouses, riding
stables, beaches, marinas, lifelong learning
opportunities, trips, planned activities, an activities
director, medical services and concierge services all
add to the price of a community.
Even developments with manufactured homes can be
expensive - the homes may be reasonably priced, but the
lease lot fees can be high.
