Active Adult Buyers Keep the Atlanta Market Moving in Retirement Communities

Active Adults find Atlanta to be one of the most attractive locations today. Even in a slow market, the Atlanta Active Adult market is booming (with Boomers.)

Active Adults are people who have reached a new stage in life. They’ve been through many life experiences. They’ve raised children, managed careers, adventures, and the trials and joys of life. Their children are grown and moved on. They find themselves with more time, but too much house. They are ready to downsize their square footage, but not their lifestyle. Many will actually upsize their lifestyle. Active Adults are attracted to fine interior finishes, exquisite private outdoor living spaces, low maintenance, a sense of community, and the freedom to do what they want. Active Adults are looking for more than a retirement community. The Atlanta Active Adult housing market meets all of those requirements.

In the Metro Atlanta area, Active Adult buyers will find a variety of choices. There is equal opportunity to live in high-rise condos, or ranch condos, as there is single family detached homes; both in-town and in the suburbs. Many Active Adult buyers are even able to find a community located in close proximity to the homes of their children living in Atlanta.

The cultural, entertainment, social and shopping opportunities make Atlanta an attractive place for Active Adults. Throughout the Metro area, there are a variety of restaurants and shopping venues. In addition, Atlanta features Broadway shows, headliner concerts and professional sports. The International Airport provides a passage way to a world full of adventure. With a short drive, Active Adults can find themselves enjoying the beauty of the mountains, or the ocean. Mild winter temperatures attract Active Adults from most northern states and many find the summers more palatable than Florida.

Active Adults aren’t looking for retirement homes; they are looking for homes to launch the new stage of their life from. They know what they want, and they will have what they want. They define themselves not as boomers but as Active Adults because that’s what they are; active.
