Retirement communities south may have your favorite southern state here or on the southeast or southwest page as it is unclear which states still call themselves Southern. Communities listed here are all for over age 55 but there are few large ones here. However, you will find many independent senior living communities that have an active lifestyle as an option.

If you are from the South, chances are you believe there is no better place to live than in the South. It is a unique heritage and culture though many believe it is being changed by modern ways and the steady influx of people from different parts of the country. They are coming for jobs in its modernizing and up-trending cities and entertainment and Southern food in it's smaller towns.
