Planned retirement communities are found in nearly all states, but the majority are concentrated in the southeastern and southwestern portions of the country, in places like Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas and Arizona. A number of Southern states, including Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi, do not have as many as one might expect. Texas has a good number, and more are coming to Nevada and New Mexico. As migration to these areas continues, more will be popping up. Northern states, in the East and West, are seeing more being built, although they will never have the numbers that the Southern states, do.

In general, homes in planned age-targeted and age-restricted communities are often more expensive than other homes because of the amenities, activities and security provided. Many communities have prices starting in at least the mid-$200,000s and rising significantly from there.
