55 Plus Communities in Santa Clarita

Senior Communities of Santa Clarita

As the number of 55 Plus communities in Santa Clarita continue to grow, active seniors have more options than ever before when buying homes in suitable communities.

Once upon a time options were quite limited but that’s no longer true. Yes, we still have the Friendly Valley 55 Plus neighborhoods and of course there are a number of senior specific mobile home parks, but you might be surprised at some of the senior homes in the newer developments.

In fact, some of these neighborhoods are quite luxurious, resembling small resorts. Others are more modest but one thing they all have in common are amenities geared toward active, 55 plus seniors.

55 Plus Community Prices

Depending on which community you choose, the price can be very steep. To be honest, it makes us wonder if home prices are too far out of reach for the majority of our Santa Clarita 55+ crowd.

To be sure, new homes in the newly developed 55 Plus communities can be quite costly. Thankfully, there are still some reasonably priced homes usually available in Friendly Valley.

Be sure to have a look at all our senior living communities and reports. We provide first hand information, photos and videos intended to help our local seniors find and buy their perfect homes for this stage of their lives.

How are the 55 Plus Communities in Santa Clarita Different than Non Age Restricted neighborhoods?

This is an interesting question and it really depends on the community. Some of these newer 55 Plus communities are similar to mini resorts. Usually, but not always, the homes tend to be smaller and are single story. Even if it’s a 2 story home, usually the master bedroom and bathrooms downstairs.

One thing senior living communities all have in common are the amenities. Usually the amenities are quite nice and geared toward seniors. They also have organized, age appropriate activities and clubs.

Here in Santa Clarita, most of the 55+ communities are gated and secure. Many of the homes will be a bit smaller and often single story homes.

There’s plenty more to share on this but I think you get the picture. For sure, the newer homes will be more accessible for seniors AND more expensive. Keep in mind, these senior designated 55 Plus communities are intended for ACTIVE seniors and NOT assisted living.
