Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a 55+ community and independent living?

55+ communities are primarily age-restricted housing with amenities, but no personal care services. Independent living communities often include meals and some services, and are priced accordingly.

Can someone under 55 live in a 55+ community?

Under federal law, at least 80% of occupied units must have at least one resident who is 55 or older. Typically, a spouse or partner under 55 may be permitted to reside there.

Do 55+ apartments include meals?

Most 55+ apartments do not include meals as standard, though some may have a café or dining room on-site. This is a key difference from independent living communities.

Are 55+ communities pet-friendly?

Many 55+ communities are pet-friendly, but policies vary. Ask about breed and weight restrictions during your virtual tour.
