Mazomanie Community Survey: Housing for Active Older Adults

Housing designed for Active Older Adults

Many communities now offer housing designed to cater to active and healthy older adults, who want to live on their own, but no longer wish to maintain a house and yard. The housing is usually new construction with modern finishes and amenities, typically in the form of condos, townhouses, or apartments. Often, these housing developments provide access to common amenities and services such as community rooms/clubhouses, fitness centers/gyms, gardens, yard maintenance, housekeeping services, on-site security, transportation, laundry service, and social activities. Housing for active adults may or may not be restricted to individuals who are 50 and older.
