Nevada 55+ Communities

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.

Nevada is the second fastest-growing state in the nation with a population of about 2.8 million in 2012. The capital is Carson City and the largest city is Las Vegas. One of Nevada’s biggest draws is that it has no state income tax and no inheritance tax, leaving retirees with more savings.

From the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada to the hot, dry Mojave Desert, Nevada is a geographically diverse state. And although the state is landlocked, there are options for those who love water, including Lake Tahoe to the West and Lake Mead in the South. The majority of the state is unsettled, desolate wilderness.

Nevada is most well known for its relaxed laws on gambling in large cities like Las Vegas, but it is also home to many families and 55+ communities.
