Quick answers
Questions, answered.
Can a spouse under 55 live in a 55+ community?
Federal rules require one resident 55 or older in at least 80% of occupied homes. Each community's own rules decide the rest, so read the declaration.
Is 'active adult' the same as 55+?
No. Age-targeted communities have no age requirement. Only age-restricted communities follow the 55+ rules.

Prices vary by community and floor plan. We set alerts for the $800K+ homes in each one.
