On this page: Midwest retirement communities for over 55. The midwest states have large populations of baby boomers who wish to stay close to family but also want this type of active adult retirement community for the low maintenance lifestyle and to have a variety of social activities. To get away from cold winters, Midwesterners often become "snowbirds" in winter and escape to warmer climes such as Arizona, Florida or Nevada.
With the current economic slowdown, builders have not developed new projects as rapidly as in the past several years.
