Dallas Active Adult Neighborhoods are HOT!

Rapidly, Dallas active adult neighborhoods are selling homes, a lifestyle choice for many north Texans.  As boomers retire, cranes are in the air producing housing options like never before.  In the Dallas area, many options for seniors are available, in fact, more every day.  When the time is right to downsize, and depending on needs and budget, a new home is an option worth consideration.

Besides the obvious, an age restriction to 55+ adults, what makes active-adult neighborhoods different and alluring is their offering many benefits for a particular demographic need.  Social events, extra amenities, transportation and in-home assistance are available options which attract retirement-age residents.  Many developers have waiting lists.  As a result of high demand, Dallas area active adult communities are popping up all over the DFW suburbs.  For the curious, casual or serious home shopper over 55, a  list of some of the new developments is included below.

Getting Started Comparing 55+ Communities

With so much to look into and to take into consideration, starting your search may seem overwhelming, yet it doesn’t have to be.  As your advocate, an experienced local Realtor specializing in Dallas active adult neighborhoods is your best resource to help you find the right community and home.  First, seek a community with a reputation dedicated to service and performance while proving the right setting where you will be comfortable.  As with any big purchase, be careful to maintain a clear perspective.  In the excitement of shopping, it’s easy to over-buy.  While delving into your myriad options, keep a clear distinction in mind between your minimum needs (must haves), wants and wishes.

First, before you start shopping, you may need to carefully consider your budget.  After you sell a house, your budget for housing may be different to rent vs. buy in retirement.  When this is a question, have your agent prepare a comparison, taking into consideration your short-, mid- and long-term budget needs.
