Active Adult 4 Less Part III


In our ongoing research to provide you with insights about living the active adult lifestyle for less we have focused this article on the New England states.  While New England consists of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont – our investigations (for this article) turned up communities within Connecticut and New Hampshire.

In response to an inquiry from one of our subscribers asking what is available within the New England states for less than $200,000 our search first yielded a Connecticut community in Hamden in where the developer advertises a 1 bedroom 1,100 square foot home for $199,900.

We also checked in with Jim Miller, our Active Adult Realtor® specialist in New Hampshire, to inquire which (if any) of the active adult communities within his great state had homes for less than $200,000 and we were delighted with his reply! 

Jim reports that there are 13 different communities within New Hampshire that have housing options for less than $200K.  The housing types and locations include (all with prices of less than $200,000)!

  • Condominiums in Nashua, Milford, Derry, and Windham
  • Detached Single Family Homes in Merrimack, Hooksett, and Loudon
  • Duplex Townhome Condominiums in Hooksett
  • Semi-Detached Homes in Raymond
  • Single Level Condominiums in Hooksett
  • Ranch style Single Family Homes in Sandown

 Plus . . . Manufactured (resale) Homes on land-lease lots in Manchester from only $114,900 

OK!  We’re impressed.  Perhaps I’m a little biased though since my dad was born in Hinsdale, New Hampshire but I do recall a trip to the New Hampshire countryside as a teen-ager and I was impressed with its abundance of natural beauty.   

In our Active Adult 4 Less article next month we will go deep (deep South that is) in our quest to find the best in lifestyles under $200K and we have some great options to show you!

Check out our New Hampshire Communities and our Connecticut Communities.

i Refuse 2 Age i Mall


If you are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired or if you’d just like to feel better and look younger than your chronological age then we are pleased to introduce you to the i Refuse 2 Age Online Shopping i  Mall.  Hopefully, the name says it all . . .

Simply stated and speaking personally, we refuse to age, and we hope that you’ll join us in our quest for better health, increased energy, and greater vitality.   If your calendar age is 55 to 75 or older – so what!  That doesn’t mean that you have to resign yourself to feeling aged and unenergetic. 

Embracing life in its fullness encompasses a variety of many things – physical and mental activities, pure water in abundance, nutritious food and drink, laughter, love, rest, recreation and travel.

At the i  Refuse 2 Age Online Shopping i  Mall we have selected a great variety of our personal favorite items from Amazon and compiled them at our very own "aStore" in the following age-appropriate categories:

We are personally inspired and encouraged by our own parents who, now in their 70’s and 80’s, continue to be examples of those who refuse to let their chronological age slow them down from staying active, living life to its full and proudly saying "I refuse to age"!!

Take a look around, have some fun - and do some shopping!  It’s never too late to improve your life.  Let us know what you think, and perhaps you have some of your own personal favorites you’d like to share with us.  If so, please email them to us at iRefuse2Age@ActiveAdultLiving.com we'll check them out and add them!
