Frequently Asked Questions
What is the age requirement for 55+ communities in Florida?
Under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), at least one resident per household must be 55 years of age or older, and at least 80% of the community’s occupied units must have a qualifying resident. Typically, adults under 19 cannot live in the community as permanent residents, though guest policies vary by community. Most Palm Beach County 55+ communities follow strict HOPA guidelines, and a HOPA disclosure will be included in your purchase contract.
What is the difference between an active adult community and a retirement community?
A retirement community typically refers to assisted living or senior care facilities. An active adult community (55+ community) is for independent adults who want a low-maintenance lifestyle with resort-style amenities and a built-in social network no medical care is provided or implied. Think resort living, not nursing home.
What are HOA fees like in South Florida active adult communities?
HOA fees in Palm Beach County 55+ communities typically range from $200/month for basic condo communities to $600–$900/month for luxury resort-style communities with full amenity packages.
