Hot Springs Village Retirement Community Hot Springs - This is one of the largest and most popular retirement communities. Since 1970 in the Ouachita Mountains. Variety of homes in every price range from affordable to affluent. 20 minutes to downtown Hot Springs.

I love the downtown Hot Springs for its bath houses, massage and mineral water for a relaxing and rejuvenating time. The downtown is naturally quaint and charming but now they have updated it with modern shops and amenities for tourists and residents.

26,000-acre resort and retirement community with stocked lakes, 9 golf courses, canoeing, water ski. They have their own police and fire.Hot Springs Village

The Bluffs Country Club and Resort St. Francisville - LA - This is not an age restricted community. It is a master planned community. I am listing it because there are not many planned communities or over 55 in the state. (There are future proposed communities in the state in the Richland Parish and Covington and Slidell areas.) Meanwhile, The Bluffs has many amenities for an active retirement. Arnold Palmer Golf. Trails, wildlife, ponds, creeks.The Bluffs Country Club and Resort

Retirement Communities South in Alabama

Today's temperature in Birmingham: Click for Birmingham, Alabama Forecast

Alabama may become more popular for retirement because of its low cost of living, mild climate and beaches on the Gulf Coast. But also consider Birmingham in the central portion where the University of Alabama is located with its outstanding medical centers, library system, and healthy lifestyle. Property taxes are low and no state tax on income from military and government pensions. (Please verify all information.)

It's hard to find communities in Alabama as it is in other states of the South. There are some proposed ones coming. "Celebrate Alabama" in Opelika and "Gold Hill Plantation" in Auburn.

Gilley Properties builds in Alabama and Florida panhandle. They mention 2 properties on their website good for retirement but not for over 55 (we just can't find any so we are listing these until some proposed ones are built.)
