50 Best Florida Retirement Communities on the East Coast of Florida
Senior retirement communities in Florida for 55+

Jump to Content this Page

For many senior citizens Florida retirement communities is the place to enjoy retirement and your senior years.  However, Florida's reputation as a low cost of living state has changed during the past few years.  It's simply that housing prices of Florida homes continue to rise beyond what many seniors can afford and it has happened so fast.  One needs to look more closely at what an area or town offers.  Note: with prices of homes continuing to increase in Florida, maybe you wish to consider Florida manufactured homes or Florida mobile homes.
