55+ Communities

Welcome to Florida, the home of 55+ Communities!

We have large communities such as Sun City Center located south east of Tampa and The Villages which is located about 35 miles north of Tampa. Both communities span several miles and contain 1000's of homes, town homes, villas and ILFs (independent living facilities).

These areas are great for people who love to be around others and like lots of activities. There is always something going on. Trips to various areas, restaurants and attractions. Swimming pools, tennis courts, golf, boating and other sports. Clubs to join, pot-luck suppers and a wide variety of other social functions.

The other end of the spectrum would be a smaller 55+ community such as Heather Ridge in Dunedin which limit residents to the 55+ age range but have very few activities other than the bocce court or swimming pool. Residents can mingle or keep to themselves.

Many communities are in between. For example The Groves in Land O Lakes boasts a very nice golf course, a community swimming pool, tennis courts, a fitness center and a casual dining restaurant located within their gated community. There are both single family homes and villas available. Lawn maintenance as well as basic cable is included in the HOA dues which are paid quarterly. The villas go one step further with their 100% exterior maintenance; including lawn but adding tree and hedge trimming and weeding.

Some choices to consider when looking for the ideal 55+ community:

• Do you want to be on a golf course?
• Near or on water?
• Gated community?
• Does the community allow golf carts on the roads?
• Is there a community pool - or do homes have private pools?
• Are there tennis courts, fitness centers, other features?
• Is there a restaurant inside the community?
• Are there grocery stores, banks etc close by?
• Types of activities offered?
• Programs offered?
• Clubs available?
• Do they have a main clubhouse or activity area?

If you are interested in learning about the wide variety and locations of 55+ communities contact me via phone or use the contact form above. We can narrow down what you are looking for in a community then discuss the financials such as home costs in that community, HOA fees, maintenance dues and CDD's. We ALWAYS want to understand total monthly costs before we get too far into the process.
