Renting senior apartments offers the greatest flexibility. When renting an apartment, your savings can be used for other investments rather than home purchase. (Check with your financial advisors.)

Read the review.
Senior living apartments are for seniors 55 and older and may include a clubhouse, a pool, spa, tennis court, fitness center, recreation, social events, and more.
Yes, the 55 plus apartments listed here are at market-rate. Market rate means the rental apartment is priced at what the market will bear and what people are willing to pay.
