Florida Active Adult Community–Where The Action Is!

Are you one of the 78 million people who will be retiring in the next few years? Then there’s no doubt that you have considered a new home in a Florida active adult community. Why not? If you want to continue an active lifestyle during your senior years, why not do it in a state that has plenty of sunshine and a million and one things to do?

Orlando is hub of activity. The city has it all…attractions, water sports, golf courses, sports events (be sure to catch an Orlando Magic game!), hiking, biking and horseback riding, just to name a few! And, if you really want to let loose during retirement and get the ol’ adrenaline pumping, strap yourself into a 600-horse power Sprint Cup race car at the Richard Petty Driving Experience and put the pedal to the metal or book yourself for a hang gliding lesson at Wallaby Ranch Hang Gliding Flight Park. There are definitely plenty of things to do near and around Florida active adult communities.

Active adult communities in Florida provide many programs and events that keep their residents engaged and social. At Victoria Gardens, located between Orlando and Daytona, residents can take part in free weekly meditation sessions to help reduce stress and anxiety, lower blood pressure, strengthen the immune system and improve the ability to focus. If you like to get wet, water aerobics are held twice a week. The community also houses a state-of-the-art health and fitness center where you can get fit, hang out or visit with others in the community. Take a virtual tour of The Club at Victoria Gardens and see where all the action is!
