Sarasota Active Adult Community Real Estate

Many homebuyers start their Sarasota search wanting a “55+ community,” picturing a gated neighborhood with a full amenity package and a busy activity calendar that makes meeting neighbors easy. That combination exists here, but not always under a true age restriction.

Plenty of neighborhoods deliver exactly that feel, activities, amenities, an active resident base, without capping the minimum age at 55. We call these “active adult communities,” built with the recently retired in mind but open to any demographic who wants that lifestyle.

What is an “Active Adult Community”?

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. These neighborhoods usually are gated, offer a nice selection of amenities, and many times has a neighborhood activity director to plan events for the community to encourage social interaction. Several of the larger and newer communities even offer a bar/restaurant onsite.

How many Active Adult type communities are there in the Sarasota area?

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.

Can communities considered to be “Active Adult” in nature restrict age?

No, there is not an HOA rule restricting the minimum age of a buyer in the community.
