[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who move to over 55 communities seem to have more luck building a new social group, because they offer tons of activities, the people have also moved there from elsewhere and they are in the same phase of life. [/quot

I would like to retire in a 55 community. My primary hesitation is the restrictions about grandchildren staying with you a certain number of days per year.[/quote]
I don’t know. I know two different couples who are similar to my spouse and me in terms of education, background, interests who moved in to over 55 communities and both moved back out in less than two years. Both couples said it just wasn’t the way they expected and that the neighborhood felt sort of weird to them.

I get that lots of people like them, but my spouse and I are a bit wary of the idea now after the experience our friends had. They also noted to us that they had met other people in their communities who had voiced the same feelings but felt stuck there because they just didn’t want to deal with a move again.
