Orlando, FL is one of the biggest tourist destinations on the planet. Home to Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World, there is a never-ending option of activities to do.

Orlando senior communities

Orlando, which recently opened a new arena for the NBA's Orlando Magic, is full of cultural attractions beyond the standard touristy things. Winter Park, a nearby community, is home to Rollins College and has kept its small town charm with walkable streets and a farmer's market every weekend.

Orlando also has cheap real estate due to the recent real estate crisis. There are condos available in the Kissimmee area for under $100,000. This area is minutes away from Disney World so it's a great location to be for family members to visit.

Many consider Orlando Florida to be among the best retirement cities in the U.S. Here are some other reasons to choose living in Orlando.

Social Opportunities: studies have shown that a good group of friends is more important to a happy retirement than money or health. Orlando offers many opportunities with civic groups and hobby clubs to generate a solid core group of friends. These friends can help ward off the problems of aging like dementia and health issues.

Public Transportation: rural living isn't good for seniors who can't drive since they require someone's help to get around. The expenses of transportation add up quickly for fixed-income seniors so the public transportation of Orlando is quite beneficial. Even better is that most public transit systems have senior rates that are much cheaper than normal.

Access to Medical Services: it's pretty obvious that if you live near a hospital, you're more likely to survive a medical emergency. Despite how your mind feels, the body starts to break down and there's a good chance you'll need a hospital visit during your retirement years. Living in Orlando is great since there are more specialists and medical services available and at cheaper rates.

Access to Local Businesses: city living offers walking distance to most businesses that you'll ever use in your retirement years. Even if you need to travel, there are a lot more shopping centers and discount stores in urban areas.

Fitness: exercise is critical to keeping healthy during your retirement years. Cities have every type of fitness facility from standard fitness centers to niche fitness places like indoor rock climbing walls so there's something for everyone. Even if you want to exercise on your own, there's tons of parks or indoor malls to enjoy walking in.

Continuing Education: today’s seniors know the importance of exercising their brains, as well as their bodies. Urban living provides access to a wide range of classes, through local universities, museums, city recreation departments, etc. Enrolling in these types of courses can help stave off the depression that some people feel once they stop working full time.

Food and Entertainment: retirement should be full of activities you never had a chance to enjoy while working. Dinners out to fancy restaurants or weekend getaways to a nearby city or historical site are all possible living in a city. Orlando has tons of entertainment venues because it's the vacation destination of the world and there's always something going on.

Orlando Retirement Housing Options: In Orlando there are unique housing options which include condos, apartments for rent, hi-rises, retirement communities, lofts, co-ops, luxury condominiums, top end townhouses and other housing for over 55 boomers and seniors. Also when needed, there are nureous fine assisted living facilities with skilled nursing facility.
