[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven’t considered these before - are home costs higher than in non-communities? Or is it just that the monthly fees are quite high?[/quote] Depends on where you live and the amenities they offer. My aunt and uncle were in a 55+ on Long Island in NY. The property taxes were much lower because there were no local schools to fund. There was a community fee, but it wasn’t huge. The amenities were limited though. It was a gated community, had a pool and a community building, minimal programming. It worked until they were in their 80s and needed more care. [/quote]
