Every day through 2027, 11,000 Americans will turn 65. But today’s seniors aren’t following the same retirement path as past generations. Instead of slowing down, retirees in North Texas are embracing active lifestyles, low-maintenance living, and vibrant communities that allow them to enjoy this new stage of life to the fullest.


The Shift in Retirement Living

From Quiet Retirement to Active Engagement

Older models of retirement focused on rest and withdrawal. Today’s seniors want fitness centers, golf courses, walking trails, and community clubs to stay engaged and healthy.

From Large Family Homes to Rightsized Living

Rather than holding on to large homes, many retirees are downsizing into condos, villas, or 55+ communities that reduce upkeep while maximizing convenience.

From Isolation to Social Connection

Retirees value being part of socially rich environments, where community events, classes, and volunteer opportunities keep life meaningful and connected.


Why North Texas Is Leading the Way

Dallas–Fort Worth offers seniors more choices than ever before:

  • 55+ Active Adult Communities: Places like Del Webb at Trinity Falls (McKinney) and Frisco Lakes (Frisco) provide resort-style living.

  • Luxury Downsizing Options: Patio homes and lock-and-leave villas in communities like Ladera allow seniors to travel without worry.

  • Urban Retirement: Walkable neighborhoods in Dallas and Fort Worth provide access to dining, arts, and culture.

  • Suburban Comfort: Cities like Flower Mound, Allen, and Plano balance peace and convenience.


Fast Facts Driving the Trend

  • By 2030, all baby boomers will be over 65, representing 1 in every 5 Americans.

  • 55+ housing is one of the fastest-growing segments in real estate.

  • Retirees in Texas save more thanks to no state income tax and lower overall cost of living compared to many other states.
