The Ideal Retirement Location in Savannah Georgia
Retirement communities and retiring in general is changing as we are knee-deep into the 21st century. Active adults are looking for a variety of activities and events and yet the peace and quiet they deserve. Our real estate assets becoming a benefit or an anchor around their necks as baby boomers age gracefully? What makes the most sense for their current financial situation?
Because I work with seniors from a variety of backgrounds with varying futures and existing situations, I see the benefits and disadvantages of owning specific types of property during retirement years. Condominiums and townhomes may fit the retirement profile for some while active adult communities, complete with a full social calendar, make the most sense for others. Is a single-family house the best option in your retirement years, and how long are you planning to hold onto that property?
Townhomes and condominiums as well as active adult communities either with manufactured homes or apartment style buildings, can make life easier with low maintenance and minimal responsibilities. All the landscaping is typically taken care of, but you do have the added costs of Homeowners Association dues or Membership Dues to a specific organization that handles these types of responsibilities each month or annually. Retirees may find the ease of use for certain amenities such as hot tubs, swimming pools, aerobic and yoga classes a welcome addition to an adult retirement community.
It all depends on your age, your level of mobility, and your interest in activity. For those that need the ultimate in relaxation and low maintenance, an independent living environment may be the best option. There are condominiums, townhomes and units for sale or for rent in various adult neighborhoods throughout Savannah and Pooler Georgia. For those that still would like the added freedom and mobility of a single-family home, there are associations and communities with either duplexes or single-family houses available, still offering an association fee to handle the majority of common amenities such as landscaping, road maintenance and resort style features.
