Whether you&rsquo;re looking for a pool, pickleball courts, fitness center, or community art studio, the clubhouse is where you&rsquo;ll find your preferred activity.

<h3>
	Age Restricted Communities</h3>

	In the USA it&rsquo;s illegal to discriminate against residents based on age with the exception of <a href="https://activeadultliving.com/active-adult-communities">active older adult communities</a>.

These communities tend to be close-knit and affordable. The floorplans of the homes are built for the ease of comfort of residents who may need specific accommodations to make the most of their homes. Many homes are single-story floorplans with attached garages. The homes often come with low-maintenance landscaping with minimal elevation changes. There are also <a href="https://activeadultliving.com/age-restricted-communities">age-targeted and age-appropriate communities</a> that, while not age-restricted, are built with older adults in mind. Homes in these communities range from single-family ranch-style homes to duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, or condominiums depending on your preference. You can also opt for low-maintenance communities where you will not have to worry about mowing the lawn or shoveling snow. Master-planned developments include cleverly designed walking and bike paths that lead residents to the clubhouse, dog park, or community garden. &nbsp;
<h3>
	On The Waterfront</h3>

	<a href="https://activeadultliving.com/waterfront-communities">Oceanfront and lakefront living</a> is the dream of retirees who want to spend their leisure time on the water. For many people, having a lake near their home means they can get on the water anytime day or night. Some waterfront communities have private marinas.
