55+ communities in South Florida.

South Florida is home to some of the nation’s top 55+ communities — from golf-centric enclaves in Delray Beach to brand-new resort-style villages in Westlake. With over 154 active adult communities across Palm Beach, Broward, St. Lucie, and Highlands counties, buyers have access to an unmatched range of lifestyles, price points, and amenity packages.

What qualifies as a 55+ community? Under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA), a community qualifies as age-55-restricted if at least 80% of occupied units have one resident aged 55 or older, and the community publishes and follows policies demonstrating its intent to be 55+ housing. Most South Florida 55+ communities require at least one occupant to be 55+, with no occupants under 40. Rules vary. We verify the specific age requirements before you make an offer.

Understanding HOA fees. Most 55+ communities are governed by a Homeowners Association (HOA) or Condominium Association (COA). HOA fees typically range from $200 to $800/month and cover amenities like pools, fitness centers, pickleball and tennis courts, clubhouses, and exterior lawn care. Some communities — particularly luxury GL Homes developments like Valencia Bay and Seven Bridges — include full resort-style amenities with on-site restaurants, concierge services, and organized social programming. We provide full HOA financial documents before any offer.

Prices range widely. Entry-level 55+ condos (Whisper Walk, Century Village) start below $150K. Mid-range gated communities (Valencia Reserve, Cascades) typically run $300K–$600K. Luxury resort-style developments (Valencia Grand, Kings Point golf estates) can exceed $1M. Whatever your budget, our agents specialize in navigating the unique considerations of 55+ real estate — resale restrictions, rental rules, financial health of the association, and special assessments.
