Common Concerns with over 55 Communities

If you’re ready to bask in the golden glow of your golden years, over 55 communities have a plethora of benefits just waiting for you to enjoy. We know you might be worried about potential problems but don't fret, we've got you covered.

We’re thrilled to showcase some amazing active adult communities for you today. We're not just going to give you the basic rundown – we're going to dive deep and answer all your burning questions. We know you have concerns about over 55 communities – from pesky retirement community HOA fees that eat away at your budget to restrictions around having little ones over to visit. Well, fear no more as we've got you covered. So sit back, relax, and get ready to discover the perfect community to fit your active lifestyle.

Concern 1: Will I have to pay hidden fees?

The short answer: No 

We understand that making the move to an over-55 community can be daunting. You may have concerns about hidden fees and what exactly you'll be paying for. Sure, the amenities sound amazing and you want to be cautious, but don't let this fear hold you back from exploring all that these communities have to offer. With a little research and guidance, you can find a community that not only fits your budget but exceeds your wildest expectations.

If you've got your eye on a new home construction community, there's a lot to love about these developments but there's one thing you need to be aware of: the dreaded homeowners association fee. But wait, don't run away just yet. This fee isn't like those sneaky "retirement community HOA" charges that catch you off guard — it's a fair fee that covers all the community amenities. And the best part is you'll know exactly how much it will cost you up front, so there won't be any surprises. These fees might change over time, but you won't have any hidden fees.

Concern 2: Can my grandkids visit me?

The short answer: Yes 

The joy of retirement often includes cherishing precious moments with your grandkids, but it can be quite disheartening to learn that some over 55 communities have a no-kids policy. However, there is hope as grandkids are always welcome at Del Webb over-55 communities. 

Spending quality time with your loved ones is important, and we definitely don't want to get in the way of that. You can even have overnight stays with your grandkids if you'd like. However, there may be some limitations on having younger guests live with you full-time. If you have any questions, feel free to contact one of our sales specialists. Let's keep making memories with loved ones.
