New Construction (under development) vs Established Adult Living Community
Once you have settled on your preferred location, the next important factor to consider is whether a new 55 + community under construction, or an established 55 + community, is best suited to your needs. . While a new adult community under construction offers the benefit of choosing your model, lot options, and upgrades, it comes with many risks, growing pains, and uncertainties. These include:
- New construction, once all the upgrades are added, typically are priced higher than similiar size resale homes
- Bare landscaping, construction noise, and start up issues.
- Years of wait to achieve minimum levels of resident density to support entertainment and club activities.
- Not yet known issues with transfer of community management from developer to home owner association.
- Not yet known property management and volunteer governing board staffing
- Not yet known or finalized monthly association fees.
