The New Standard for an
Active Adult Community

People
Are Talking

Active Adult communities have been the hot topic for the past year for many reasons. First, they fill a void in the senior living spectrum, a void that will be growing. Second, there are very few labor concerns with Active Adult – no care providers, kitchen help or much of anything else – which is huge in today’s labor-constrained market. Third, they are a cheaper alternative to traditional senior living communities. Fourth, if all fails, they are very easy to convert to traditional multifamily apartments or sell as condos. And five, the average length of stay appears to be between four and five years, although it may be too early to say that with any conviction. -Steve Monroe, Managing Editor and Partner, Irving Levin Associates, Inc.
