55+ communities, or active adult communities, are residential areas designed for individuals aged 55 and older. These communities offer a lifestyle tailored to older adults, featuring low-maintenance housing and various amenities such as fitness centers, swimming pools, and walking trails. Social interaction is encouraged through organized events, hobby groups, and recreational activities. Many communities provide additional services like healthcare facilities, transportation, and dining options. Located in desirable climates and scenic areas, they offer a serene and enjoyable living environment. The primary goal is to foster a vibrant, supportive atmosphere where residents can enjoy their retirement years with a focus on health, wellness, and social connections.
Georgia, known as the “Peach State” and the “Empire State of the South”, is located above the State of Florida. The northern part of the state is in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a mountain range in the vast mountain system of the Appalachians. There are big cities like Atlanta, and smaller suburbs for quiet retreats. Inland locations like Lake Lanier are popular destinations along with coastal areas like Sea Island and St. Mary's.
Georgia has mild winters, fantastic golf courses, architecture, and restaurants filled with Southern charm. There are numerous beach towns on Georgia's Atlantic Coast that are outstanding retirement destinations, and the rest of the state also features many active adult communities.
Athens, Georgia is continually ranked as one of the "Best Places in America To Retire". Due large in part to it's strong health-care system, affordable living and pedestrian-friendly areas, Athens seems to have it all. There are plenty of things to do including golfing, bicycling, wine tasting, and listening to live music.
