I am intrigued by the choices for retirees in the housing and (even more so) lifestyle areas. Across the US there are "Sun City" cities, many universities have retirement communities loosely affiliated with ILRs (Institutes for Learning in Retirement), lots of independent adult RV and golf communities. I am personally investigating a benevolent dictatorship called "The Villages" in central Florida. The latter has 30,000 residents, plans for 50,000 more, 400 active clubs, 9 golf courses, and several shopping and dining areas, all accessible via golf cart.
Is anyone familiar with discussion groups comparing and contrasting these types of housing choices? The financial aspect is just one of the topics that I find my previous experience with HOAs and home ownership leave me with too little to extrapolate from.
