Renting senior apartments offers the ultimate flexibility. Also, with no home purchase, your savings can be put into other investments, but please check with your financial advisors. Some require an entry deposit and some do not.
It is estimated around 25% of seniors rent. More recently, the numbers have been increasing due to an uncertain economy and home values continue to slide in some areas. On this page by region, see:
In the current real estate market you may have sold your home but want to wait and see where the home market is headed, cannot decide where you want to retire, or are not sure of the community. You can rent awhile and try the area or community out. Or you may choose this as your permanent lifestyle for your active adult years ahead. Senior apartments may offer total independent senior living or have numerous amenities and activities for socializing. They may come with meals, transportation, services in the monthly rent or not. Do thorough investigations just as you would if you were purchasing as amenities and services vary. Besides senior rental apartment buildings, you may wish to rent someone's home or condo within a retirement community. These are very nice as no one will know you are not an owner and you will be able to enjoy being a part of the community. You can find these short-term or long-term listings in the community newspaper or through a Realtor.
New to Renting: see the "furnished rentals" page for a helpful list of some things to look for in a rental lease.
