The Health Benefits of Living in an Active Community: What Every Senior Should Know

Posted on: May 10, 2023

As empty nesters and retirees are making the move to a low-maintenance lifestyle, there’s a new housing option that delivers health benefits many overlook. Today’s 55+ active-adult communities are designed to not only deliver a high level of amenities, but also engaging social activities. Tributary, a master-planned community just north of Jacksonville, has experienced a surge in interest for its new 55+ neighborhood Lakeview, developed by Lennar. The exciting new community caters specifically to empty nesters who desire to maintain an active and healthy lifestyle. Best of all, residents are benefiting from a plethora of advantages that help them stay independent, healthy, and engaged. Here’s a look at a few of the secrets to healthy aging:

Staying Fit and Active

Lakeview at Tributary is designed with amenities that promote physical activity and movement among its residents. From taking a stroll on the nature trails surrounding Tributary to engaging in a fitness class or playing pickleball — all provide improved cardiovascular health, strength and flexibility, which help to reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Lakeview’s upcoming 8,000-square-foot clubhouse is designed to encourage physical activity with state-of-the-art equipment for both cardio and strength training, a resort-style pool for lap swimming, pickleball courts and bocce ball lawns for low-impact social workouts, and miles of planned nature trails for a leisurely stroll or bike ride. While Lakeview’s amenity center is under construction, residents will also have access to Tributary’s Lookout Amenity Center, a popular destination for relaxing poolside, a vigorous workout in the Fitness Center, paddle sports and social gatherings.

Stay Connected Emotionally with an Active Social Calendar

While physical health benefits are important, Lakeview also prioritizes mental well-being and social engagement. From day trips and dances to community socials, the 55+ community will offer various opportunities for residents to socialize and connect with their neighbors. Lakeview’s on-site lifestyle director collaborates with residents to plan and schedule events that cater to a holistic healthy lifestyle, including social gatherings, special-interest clubs, health and fitness classes, and more. The thoughtfully crafted event calendar ensures that there is something for everyone regardless of age or interest.

New Homes Provide Innovation and Worry-Free Living

Finding a home that requires minimal upkeep and repairs is often the first priority for many empty nesters. Let’s face it, everyone wants to spend more time enjoying life, rather than managing the “to-do” list. New construction homes offer flexibility and equity of ownership with little maintenance required. Advanced smart-home technologies and home warranties limit home maintenance issues, ensuring years of hassle-free living. With the home taken care of, residents can enjoy a stress-free Florida lifestyle in a peaceful environment. Surrounded by lush nature preserves and lakes, Lakeview offers a tranquil setting for residents to enjoy birdwatching, hiking, kayaking, fishing, and endless outdoor activities.

Exploring New Areas Keeps the Mind Active

With more time available, one-way retirees can maintain their well-being is by exploring new areas and picking up new hobbies. Such activities can boost cognitive function, memory, and creativity, ultimately keeping the mind active and engaged. Lakeview’s highly desirable location offers residents easy access to North Florida’s best attractions. Nature enthusiasts can explore the history and wilderness of nearby state parks, including Four Creeks State Forest, Fort Clinch State Park, and the Talbot Island parks. Beach lovers cherish strolling Amelia Island’s sandy shores or enjoy boating in the crystal-clear Atlantic ocean waters. Foodies and shopping enthusiasts alike can find endless entertainment options at River City Marketplace and St. Johns Town Center. Or they can head to the charming Downtown Fernandina for a more intimate experience, with endless art galleries and boutique shops to peruse. For lifelong learners, local museums, including the Cummer Museum of Art, Museum of Science and History, and Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens, offer endless activities to enjoy. The diverse range of attractions available ensures that retirees have endless opportunities to explore and enjoy their golden

Easy Access to Life’s Necessities

When searching for the perfect active-adult community, it’s essential to consider the proximity of necessary amenities such as grocery stores and healthcare. Veterans appreciate the proximity of Nassau County to numerous military bases, including Kings Bay, Florida Air National Guard, Naval Station Mayport, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, and many others. The medical industry in the area is also rapidly expanding, with four new healthcare innovators and numerous VA clinics ensuring residents have access to top-quality services.
