There are retirement communities on Long Island to meet every need although many Long Island communities are expensive.

Retirees sell their expensive home on Long Island and move to a retirement community on Long Island which may offer good value. They can use their equity to buy a new home and possibly still have some money left over for retirement savings. This scenario has gone on for a long time and isn't likely to change. Some retirees move to warmer states but also consider retirement communities on Long Island.

Unlike other pages on this site, the Long Island page lists Long Island retirement communities for over 55 of all kinds on the same page or directs you to specific category pages for Long Island.

Encore Lake Grove in Lake Grove

Encore Lake Grove By WCI - In Lake Grove. Luxury condominiums. Now sold out. Contact management for resales or rentals. One of my favorite communities for location on Long Island. You can walk to Whole Foods and the Lake Grove Mall is across the street also. Very central location. See my review of Encore Lake Grove.

Encore Lake Grove by WCI Please see my On-Site Review: "Encore Lake Grove Retirement Community"

Encore Atlantic Shores

Encore Atlantic Shores - Also by WCI. Now sold out. Check local Realtors for resales. This is in the same area as Encore Lake Grove but further East to where it becomes more rural. If you know the Eastern part of Long Island, you know it becomes very flat and all farmlands. It is all very pretty by the way and the roadside vegetable stands usually found on weekends feature the freshest of produce.
