The benefits of downsizing

When you’re a homeowner, there’s no break in chores, even when you’re retired. But making the move to an independent community means maintenance-free living and the possible savings that come with downsizing.

  • What are the benefits of downsizing?
    • No yard work and more free time to see family and friends.
    • No more real estate tax or home insurance, and all utilities are included.
    • Amenities like housekeeping, monthly meals, cable and more.
    • A community filled with new friends and activities.
  • Can downsizing lead to monthly savings?

    Each month, seniors like yourself are putting money and time into the upkeep of your homes, instead of the lifestyle you love. Retirement living can possibly lead to monthly savings due to services and amenities already being included in our monthly costs, such as:

    • Real estate taxes
    • Home insurance
    • Utilities
    • Home and yard maintenance
    • Housekeeping
    • Monthly meals
    • Cable TV

    Downsizing can lead to monthly savings which means more money for your enjoyment in retirement!
