Today’s active adult communities are very different from those of the past and should not be confused with nursing homes or the like. These neighborhoods, designed for residents age 55 and older, can be found throughout the Triangle and offer a maintenance-free lifestyle with independence and loads of perks.
What Are Active Adult Communities?
Active adult communities can be owned or rented. Communities in the Triangle feature single-family homes, townhomes, apartments, condos, and attached homes. Each of these has different floor plans with an array of advantages for those 55+. The homes are truly designed with convenience and comfort in mind. Some of the facilities have 24-hour on-call staff to assist residents. Most of the communities have large clubhouses, dining rooms, card rooms, kitchens, fitness centers, conference rooms, gardens, tennis courts, activity centers, recreation rooms, pools, and more.
