You worked hard your entire life, and now, it’s your turn to kick back and indulge in the lifestyle you’ve always wanted. Many Arizona 55+ senior communities are made for seniors who want to enjoy an active life in a desirable location. These communities offer high-end amenities similar to those at five-star resorts.
Luxury Senior Community: Defined
Most senior communities offer amenities like meals, transportation, fitness programs, and group activities or clubs. Luxury developments take these offerings one step further.
They are often in prime locations, such as on waterfronts or next to highly-rated golf courses. The properties are usually filled with manicured gardens and outdoor spaces. There might be onsite movie theaters and upscale spas, pet care providers, and other services that make residents feel like they are on a permanent vacation.
The homes in high-end senior communities have spacious floorplans, including state-of-the-art appliances, and living areas are meticulously designed with residents’ needs in mind. Within the communities, there might be amenities like massage therapy, hair salons, Olympic-sized swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, housekeeping, laundry services, shopping, casual and fine dining, wellness activities, and much more.
Who Lives in Luxury Senior Communities?
For those with significant savings who are already accustomed to a high-end lifestyle, exploring desert climates for retirement makes perfect sense. Communities such as Encanterra in Queen Creek, Arizona, or K. Hovnanian's Four Seasons in Indio, California may be just what you are looking for.
Encanterra boasts an award-winning desert golf course designed by PGA legend Tom Lehman, a 60,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style clubhouse and recreation center, three swimming pools, four restaurants, a large outdoor amphitheater, and a full suite of resort services.
K. Hovnanian is an established developer of exclusive active lifestyle communities. Its Four Seasons Terra Lago golf community is about fifteen minutes east of Palm Desert. Within the resort-like setting, there are two eighteen-hole golf courses, a clubhouse featuring indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a full-service fitness center, tennis, bocce courts, and an active social calendar and special-interest clubs. It is only a half hour from an international airport and medical care, and food stores and other retailers are nearby.
These are just a few samples of the luxury senior living opportunities you can find on the Private Communities portal!
Why People Choose Luxury Living
Luxury senior communities are all about convenience, comfort, and personalized service. They offer an enriching retirement experience with extra layers of security, services, and amenities, so residents can have nearly all of their needs met onsite.
Social events of all sorts are common. Residents can mingle and make friends with their neighbors while playing cards, watching a movie, enjoying a glass of fine wine, or participating in a club or organized activity.
Transitioning to a Senior Community
Regardless of the amenities and creature comforts of a luxury senior community, it can still be challenging for seniors to leave the homes where they spent much of their lives and transition to an active adult community.
Read reviews and ratings thoroughly, go on virtual tours, and visit the communities you are considering. Talk to residents and staff, ask lots of questions, and see if the atmosphere and ambiance feel like a good fit for your retirement plans. Check out the options on the Private Communities platform, and be sure to reach out to us if you need any guidance.
Once you move in, don’t be shy about meeting your neighbors and getting involved in social activities. After all, that’s why you moved to Arizona and chose a luxury active adult community in the first place! You’ll feel right at home in no time.
