A 55+ community is age-restricted housing. Residents must meet an age requirement, and the community may have a clubhouse, pool, and activities. But most 55+ communities don’t provide care. There are no staff to help with bathing, dressing, medications, or meals.
Senior living communities provide services, and often care:
55+ condos often have rules about moving hours, trucks, estate sales, and buyers. A senior move manager can handle the association’s requirements, and a real estate agent who knows 55+ sales can help with the condo. If family members see the move differently, read how a senior move manager can ease family tension.

Buyers must meet the community’s age rules. Your agent can explain them.
