September 1, 2012 • Fenny Peiffer

You may have heard, from either neighbors or friends, who have moved to active adult communities, how wonderful their lives are. They may talk about the golf games they play every Sunday, the spas they visit and other amenities and facilities provided by various active adult communities. Hearing all this, you may wonder whether you too should make a move towards considering a life in one such community, now that retirement age is around-the-corner. However, you may also be a little scared to change your life so drastically. After all, it is a big move, but, be assured it is a move in the right direction. If you are worried about making the wrong choice, why not consider trying out the Active Adult Living Experience in one or two of these communities, before you make the move?
