Benefits of Living in a 55 Plus Community

Have you been thinking about moving into a 55 and over community, but weren’t sure if you were ready to take the leap? There are plenty of benefits to living in a 55 and over community, especially in Pennsylvania! Here at Landmark Homes, we’ve specifically designed some of our communities to meet the wants and needs of our home buyers ages 55 and over, taking into consideration desirable community amenities and thoughtfully planned home designs and neighborhoods.


Here are just a few of the benefits of living in a Landmark 55+ community:


Active Lifestyle


Here at Landmark Homes, we believe that living in a 55+ community doesn’t mean you have to be retired or ready to slow down the pace of life. In fact, our 55 and older communities in PA offer various amenities and activities to keep you busier and more socially active than ever before! Our 55+ communities are perfect for an active lifestyle because they emphasize activity and fitness, with plenty of amenities and activities design to keep residents mentally and physically active.


Sense of Community


Not only will you be able to live an active lifestyle in a 55+ community, you’ll also gain a sense of community. It’s actually one of the most praised aspects of living in a 55+ community! Studies show that having a sense of community can greatly impact a person’s well-being and quality of life! Our activities coordinator Laura helps facilitate multiple activities and events to help foster that sense of community and comradery within our communities. Just a few events Laura has hosted within our communities include breakfasts, game days, bus trips to major cities and attractions, poker nights, happy hours, golf tournaments, and more!


Conveniently Located


Each Landmark Homes 55+ community has been thoughtfully designed to allow residents to enjoy the natural surroundings, and to ensure local amenities like shopping, restaurants, theaters, churches and medical facilities are within a short drive away. Many of our communities feature preserved open spaces and walking trails throughout.


Low-Maintenance Living


Our 55+ communities are designed with our residents in mind, with floor plans and features that accommodate active adults, and contribute to a low-maintenance lifestyle. Our 55+ communities feature both complete one-story living or first-floor owner suites, along with many other conveniences such as open floor plans and zero threshold entries. In a few of our communities, snow and lawn care are covered within the HOA.



Whether you are looking to relocated to a more ideal location leading up to your retirement, move to a new home that meets your current and future needs, join a community of adults in a similar stage of life, or just spend less time worrying about maintenance and more time enjoying life, you will find that Landmark’s 55+ communities in PA offer it all!
