Sarasota Active Adult Community Real Estate

Many homebuyers start out their Sarasota real estate search with the intention of purchasing in a “55+ community”. Their thoughts usually include the idea of living in a gated neighborhood within a nice community with an array of amenities available. In addition, buyers are typically also looking for a community with regularly scheduled activities for residents, which makes building friendships easier.

There are many neighborhoods that meet this criteria without necessarily restricting the buyers age to a minimum of 55 years old. We consider these type of neighborhoods “Sarasota active adult communities”, because they seem to be tailored to accommodate the recently retired, more activity seeking resident, yet do not restrict other demographics from living in the neighborhoods.

The term “Active Adult community” is just a general term to describe a neighborhood which is more tailored to meet the demand of a recently retired demographic. These communities are not age restrictive however. Anyone can buy in a community which would be considered “active adult” in nature.

There are many neighborhoods that we would consider an “Active Adult” type of community”. The trend for these neighborhoods is to be larger in size, with several exceeding 1000 homes. The larger community size allows for more amenities to be offered, and the ability to spread the cost of those amenities and salary of a full time activity director over many homes to make it more affordable. These larger neighborhood sizes can also accommodate a restaurant/bar in some cases too.
