With 11,000 Americans turning 65 every day through 2027, more seniors are searching for retirement lifestyles that balance comfort, activity, and community. In Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW), the demand for active adult and 55+ communities is booming — and for good reason. These neighborhoods are designed specifically for retirees who want low-maintenance homes, social opportunities, and resort-style amenities.


What Are Active Adult and 55+ Communities?

These communities are built exclusively for seniors, typically aged 55 and older. They focus on creating a lifestyle that combines independence with convenience, offering features like:

  • Low-maintenance homes and yards

  • Clubhouses and fitness centers

  • Pools, walking trails, and golf courses

  • Organized social clubs and events

  • Proximity to healthcare facilities

2. Frisco Lakes by Del Webb (Frisco)

Located on Lake Lewisville, this community offers golf, lake access, and a vibrant social calendar, perfect for active retirees.

3. Ladera Highland Village (Flower Mound Area)

Benefits of Retiring in a 55+ Community
