What Does the 55 and Older Requirement Mean for Walnut Meadows?

Walnut Meadows is an age-restricted community: at least one resident of each home must be age 55 or older. That age restriction is lawful under fair housing rules, which permit communities that meet the requirements to limit occupancy to households with a resident age 55 or older.

"An active 55 and older community."

In practice, the age requirement shapes the community around residents age 55 and older who want a single-level, lower-maintenance home with organized social life close at hand. Carmella can walk buyers through how the age requirement applies to a purchase at Walnut Meadows and what to expect when buying in an age-restricted community.
