Your 55+ housing options should include a look at the advantages of living in today's small towns can bring.
Small towns are no longer disadvantaged relative to those with better access to information. What has changed that is the Internet, email, UPS, fax, Internet phone services like Vonage, and more every day. These days small towns have better shopping opportunities, a wider variety of restaurants and cultural activities. Plus quite a number of Active Adult Communities and also non age restricted communities are enticing the move to smaller towns in America.
Here are some more things smaller town communities can offer:
- - reduce living costs
- - become part of a community
- - better qualify of life
- - less traffic
- - slower pace
- - enjoy nature more
Small towns are a good alternative to big retirement enclaves
- - live in a mixed age population
- - escaping the hubbub of urban and suburban life
- - respite from the rat race
- - get away from it all
- - moving away from the hustle and bustle
Convenience
- - where every thing's right in the neighborhood
- - historic houses
- - literally move to "greener pastures"
- - live in a beautiful area
- - have some land
Less smog, less congestion, fewer crimes, and cheaper house prices - enjoy hunting, fishing and softball as you did growing up - enjoy gardening again - some place safe to escape to if disaster occur. In todays enviroment, being and feeling safe is a very real plus.
