Private Communities Registry Notes Active Lifestyles Tops Reasons in Buying Retirement Homes


Marie Roberts

Vero Beach, FL – What do potential homebuyers want most in a retirement community? A variety of experiences catering to their wide range of interests.

In its recently released “2018 Survey of Homebuyers Researching Lifestyle Communities,” Private Communities Registry (PCR) says that the majority of 55+ year old homebuyers are seeking “healthy, active lifestyle” as the greatest attraction in the marketplace.

More than 3,200 respondents provided new data concerning the lifestyle and financial aspects they consider when purchasing a retirement or second home.

The top three most sought-after amenities are swimming pools (77%), fitness centers (76%), and walking/biking trails (71%).

“Buyers are looking for experiences that contribute to the richness of their lives and to their continued wellness,” said Marie Roberts, President of Private Communities Registry (PCR).

“Leisure and recreation are important. However, the stereotypical retirement amenities of bridge, shuffleboard, and lawn bowling have largely been replaced with more active pursuits such as pickleball, yoga, walking, and biking trails.”

. Roberts said. “Proximity to healthcare, shopping, dining, and recreation also are important.”
