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.

Maryland may be one of the smallest states in the US, but for those seeking to retire, it is large in comparison to many other states.

Maryland touches three major bodies of water—the Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac River and Atlantic Ocean. With about 4,000 miles of shoreline, 400 lakes and dozens of rivers and creeks, there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy. Many locals like to go boating, canoeing and kayaking.

Mild weather and vast entertainment opportunities make Maryland both an exciting and peaceful place to retire.
