Homeownership vs Independent Living

Your retirement years can be the best years of your life—you have more time to enjoy yourself, more opportunities to pursue hobbies and interests, and you can be a part of your children’s and grandchildren’s lives. This is a great time to consider where you live and whether it is the best place for the lifestyle you want.

After living in your own home for many years—maybe even decades—it’s hard to imagine making a change. Many find independent living communities to be an attractive alternative, offering new opportunities and relief from the responsibilities and costs associated with homeownership.

So, is homeownership still right for you? To help make the decision, we’ve created a quick, easy guide that asks some important questions about your lifestyle to help you determine what kind of home makes the most sense for you.
