We have been on the internet for 10 years! During this decade we have seen a huge growth in what is most commonly known as the "active adult" or "55+" or "age restricted" market. When we started our original web site (ActiveAdultLiving.com) we had just over 200 such developments listed, we are now over 3,000 and, frankly, we cannot keep pace with the new communities which are opening up daily. We had to hire a research person to keep us updated! Over the past decade, home developers have responded to the demand for age restricted communities and have created gorgeous communities specifically for this particular market segment. However, we have recently witnessed a new twist in the market. People in their 40's (sometimes known as "dinks" dual income, no kids) are saying "Hey, what about us? We'd like to live in a resort style community with all those amenities, but we're not old enough!". Once again builders have responded with what are now being called "age targeted" or "active lifestyle" or "resort lifestyle communities". These communities (typically gated) emulate the amenities typically found at luxury resorts, offering residents such amenities as golf, fitness centers, spa treatments, horse back riding, on-site dining - perhaps even a private air strip - as well as a host of special interest clubs. Our directory also includes "low maintenance" communities (condominiums, town homes, patio homes) which may also not be age restricted but which attract those seeking second homes, or those who travel frequently and don't want to worry while they're gone. We pride ourselves on being the cutting edge web site and have compiled a directory of what we'd like to call "lifestyle communities". Please use us a resource and keep coming back - we're always growing!
