Active Adult 4 Less - Colorado, Nevada, Oregon & Washington |
|
Here we are at the Holiday Season and hopefully feeling jolly!
Well, ok – perhaps not so jolly since this year finds many
unemployed or under employed. For those of you who have worked,
planned and saved to purchase a home in an active lifestyle or
age-restricted community your prospects are looking really,
really good. Even though Wall Street is still sluggish, the
values in residential real estate have never been better (for
you as a buyer)!
In this installment of our ongoing article about buying Active
Adult 4 Less we will journey through the States of Colorado,
Nevada, Oregon and Washington on our quest to uncover the very
best values for you and the lifestyle that you want and
deserve.
Colorado has the high/low opportunities that you may not be able
to pass up! High as in Rocky
 Mountain high and low as in
low, LOW prices! Grab your skis (and your golf clubs)
and get to
the Mile High city of Denver to check out the Active
Adult community of Windsor Gardens. It touts itself as
Denver’s Premier In-Town 55+ Community. It is, in fact, a golf
course community of condominiums and townhomes situated on 143
acres with lawns, gardens, ancient elms and towering pines.
Amy and Scott have all of the details on available homes
which go from the low $200’s down to $39,900 – now that’s
Active Adult 4 Less!!
About 10 miles southeast of downtown Denver is Aurora and the
age-restricted community of
 Heather Gardens. The
homeowners association says it’s a carefree, maintenance-free
lifestyle set on 200 park-like acres and enhanced by their
award-winning 9 hole course. The age restriction is 39 years
with no one under 16 allowed as a permanent resident. Homes are
currently on the market there from $69,900 to $269,900.
Fred will give you the low-down on the available homes as
well as details on the tennis, swimming, dining and everything
else that this active adult playground has to offer!
You can also check out all of the great active lifestyle and age
restricted communities throughout Colorado at
ActiveAdultLiving.com’s Colorado State Directory page.
Think of Nevada and what comes to mind? Likely it’s Las Vegas
(or in the case of my in-laws it is the river town of Laughlin
situated along the Arizona/Nevada border). Because Nevada (and
Arizona) had some of the highest rises in new home prices before
the market correction and mortgage meltdown they now offer some
of the very best values to be had. Think of it; no state income
taxes and 24/7 gaming, shows and night life plus - mild winter
weather!
 If it is sunshine, golf and mountain views that you love then
check out the nationally acclaimed active adult golf community
in the
Sunny City of Mesquite where a new 2
bedroom, 2 bath home of 1,241 square feet is priced at just
$176,490 with quick move-in available!
Call Angela – she has all of the details for you about the
homes, the community and the Mesquite lifestyle.
The myriad of great age-restricted, age-targeted, and active
lifestyle communities that Nevada has to offer can all be seen
at ActiveAdultLiving.com’s
Nevada state directory page.
 In
Eugene, Oregon I researched
SongBrook - a beautiful little age-restricted 55+ community
of manufactured homes on leased lots. It is a family owned and
operated community and is situated on 34 acres with a beautiful
park-like look about it. Their spin is that you can save the
cost of purchasing the land that your home is built on and lease
it from them instead – thus saving you some capital outlay
and giving you Active Adult 4 Less. They even have a
detailed comparison at their website to show how the numbers
pencil out!
You can check out lots of other great Oregon active lifestyle
and 55+ age-restricted communities at the
Oregon state directory page of ActiveAdultLiving.com.
 The state of Washington has a gated "pre-retirement" 50+
community called
Stillwaters Estates in Centralia (60 miles south of
Seattle). There you will find that a 2 bedroom and 2 bath home
goes for just $150,000 and even includes a deck with a view!
Or, if you prefer renting they offer ground level garden
apartments with no steps for rent. For the rest of Washington’s
age-restricted and lifestyle communities just
click here.
In our next installment - Part VIII (coming January 27th)
of Active Adult 4 Less I will be offering up to you a potpourri
of great values from all around the country. I’ve been book
marking them as I find them and am excited to share them all
with you!
For now I wish you all a great Holiday season and look forward
with you to a great 2010!
