25 Most Popular Active Communities – 2025
Category: Active adult communities
January 8, 2025 – The votes are in for Topretirements’ 25 most popular active communities for 2025. Not surprisingly, Florida and North Carolina had the most winners at 5 each. South Carolina and Virginia were hot too, garnering 3 spots each. Connecticut had 2 winners. Pine Village in Flagstaff, AZ was the only community in the west to make the top 25.
All of the 25 were active adult communities, and most were designated 55+ (although the owners in all are predominately over 55) . Two were mostly specialized: Indian River Colony Club (retired military) and Carefree Cove (LGBT). In what appears to be a trend, very few of the communities offered golf as an amenity.

Any posts on 55 plus active living apartments? I live in one (Sorrento) and love it. Thank you for your newsletter and research.

Editor Comment: Great question Carol, it can be hard to find those. You can use our Community Explorer to find lists of 55+ apartments and our reviews of them. Go to our Community Explorer https://www.topretirements.com/community-explorer/ and choose the state, then "Unit Types'. You can also narrow it down by looking by Amenities or Lifestyle.
