Active Adult 55+ Communities Charlotte NC

Active Adult 55+ Communities Charlotte NC

The 55+ residential real estate market is “Booming” in Charlotte!  Forbes magazine included Charlotte NC as a best place to retire in their Best Places to Retire 2022 list, referencing the high number of doctors per capita, good climate and air quality, along with our strong economy.  Additionally, there is no state estate tax nor income tax on Social Security.

New developments are popping up all over.  If you’re like many Boomers searching for retirement communities in Charlotte, you’ll be glad to know that we have several 55-and-over communities where you’ll feel right at home.  The “55 communities” in Charlotte have fantastic amenities. You’ll find homes designed with low-maintenance living in mind, whether you’re looking for a luxury condominium or a spacious estate.  If you desire one-level homes in more traditional communities that are not age restricted, click our link to Ranch Homes for Sale in Charlotte and surrounding areas for single-level homes for sale.

Charlotte is a strong Boomer relocation market.  Retirees and semi-retirees are increasingly moving to North Carolina and specifically to the Charlotte area.  Mild weather, walkability and relative cost of living puts Charlotte high on the list of retirees. MagnifyMoney.com ranked Charlotte one of the top 5 cities in America to spend one’s golden years.  An interesting trend shows that baby boomers make up the 2nd fastest-growing demographic group in the Queen City area and homebuilders and developers are taking note by building more and more Active Lifestyle 55+ communities in Charlotte and across the nearby border into South Carolina which is a popular destination due to lower taxes.

Migration patterns show that retirees want to live closer to their grandchildren which has given rise to a new moniker for this group as “Baby Chasers”.  Millennials are moving to the area in droves, attracted to jobs and progressive business opportunities which makes Charlotte a hotspot for the trailing boomer parents following their adult children and grandkids. Seniors are also drawn to the idea of a fresh start offering favorable year-round climate, world famous golf courses, quality health care, shopping with leisure attractions and relatively close access to the beach and mountains.  In addition to age restricted communities, Uptown Charlotte is also thriving with Boomers who choose to transition from empty nesters to urban dwellers that want low maintenance mid-rise and high-rise condo living.  This chic urban lifestyle offers walkability and proximity to restaurants, sporting events, museums and entertainment venues without the hassle of driving.
