Orange County 55+ communities and homes for sale

Orange County 55 and over communities are neighborhoods that cater to active seniors, retirees, and people 55 years of age and older. These are people who wish to live in a secure, gate guarded community with many amenities. These communities typically contain a variety of recreational facilities. These may include a pool, spa, tennis courts, lawn bowling, a gym, theater, putting green, club house, fitness center, travel groups, and many other services.  All of the 55+ communities do have the restriction that at least one of the residents in the home must be age 55 or older in order to live there. However, you don't need to be 55+ years of age in order to purchase one of these homes. You can purchase a 55+ home at any age (for your relatives, as a rental, or for yourself as a future retirement home).  If you are looking for a 55+ home in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, or San Diego, CA counties, just give me a call at (949) 290-3263 or email me here: ronforhomes@gmail.com and I'll send you a list of homes in those areas.
