Hi, I don't think any one agent can specialize in adult communities across the country but they do specialize in a particular county or area. I'm a Realtor specializing in adult communities in Central NJ. My website covers over 150 communities throughout 3 counties including homes for sale in each community. Check it out here: http://www.55Plus-Housing.com There are several 55+ community directories on the web if you do a google search. The best one I like is: http://www.activeadultliving.com Hope this helps you in your search for 55+ communities. Regards, David Boyd Realtor Associate Ridge Realty |

I agree with David, you need to find a realtor who specializes in a small region or town. The scope is far too big for one agent to understand the national market. My suggestion would be to narrow down your search to a few states, then narrow down to towns from there. Visit some of the ones most appealing. When you are there you will find realtors who specialize in the 55+ market. Another good place to start is in this Directory, which gives reviews of potential retirement towns and the active communities in or near those towns. http://www.topretirements.com/active_adult_communities/National.html And of course if you google active adult communities in (name of state, or name of city), you will quickly find the specialists. Good luck! John Brady |

I will re-locate to the Portland, OR area in a few months because of son's transfer. Can anyone recommend a community outside Portland where I might find an affordable apartment? Thank you. Prairie7 |

Anyone know of retirement communities in the Washington state area? Looking for mobile home rentals only. SeaTac Airport area as my wife still works part-time. Most of our searching only seems to dig up homes for sale. Not inbthe market to purchase. Thanks for any help.
