Today's newest retirement age population is part of one of the most famous generations in American history. The Baby Boomers reached retirement age in the last decade with not a lot of fanfare. Why? Because for the most part, they are not retiring in the traditional sense. But that doesn't necessarily spell bad news for traditional retirement communities. Today, retirement communities are being rebranded as "Active Adult" communities. Buyers are still required to have at least one adult age 55 or older as a homeowner, but retired? Not so much. So why would the newly age-eligible population even consider moving into a retirement community? To borrow a phrase, user friendliness.
Retirement communities come complete with Golf courses, restaurants, community centers, special interest clubs, seminars and numerous association sponsored activities. Many community centers have both indoor and outdoor pools, fitness rooms, and equipment for specialized activities such as lapidary clubs and miniature builder groups. Meeting rooms are available to residents and often are used for seminars on financial planning, health topics, and more.
Many communities have volunteer security groups which organize patrols of the community. These patrols are very effective at keeping crime at lower rates than surrounding areas and are even used as vacation "watch dogs" at no charge.
The associations and the property management groups responsible for maintaining the communities are also highly skilled at communications. Community web portals are not only available but updated with clockwork regularity. Newsletters are more often slick, monthly magazines devoted to community news, clubs, seminars and excursions. These "newsletters" are free to residents and are usually delivered. Even better, many of these magazines run in the black and become income generators as advertisers seek better and more targeted markets.
Finally, consider, if you will, a place with no school age children. Everyone is an adult of a certain age. Neighbors are not running car pools to the local grammar school. No school buses are driving through the neighborhood; no school zones are to be found within the community. At an age when you've already raised your own, might an absence of other people's children be of interest? It might just be worth considering.

It's important for communities to recognize these challenges and work together to provide support and guidance for youth.
