I see there is already a topic on Relocation. This piece called Worry-Free Housing that we recently wrote and researched could run tandem to that same discussion.
I realize some people don't like the 'cookie cutter' approach to Retirement Living. I don't believe some of these communities would fit that description, and I imagine it's how one views what retirement living means to them, and what they want out of their retirement time.
Also many mentioned how hard it was to leave familiar surroundings and friendships that were decades old.
However, for those who want value for money spent, a strong sense of community, safety and measurable savings in several categories, I believe it's worth your time to take a look at an alternative below:
It's the best of both worlds.
We are able to live a footloose life with comfort and ease, and without breaking the bank. Over the years, many people have asked us how it is that we can maintain a home and still manage to travel as extensively as we do.
