There are 50 year olds who act and live older than they are with just as many 75++ who are more active than 50 year olds.
Homes 15-20 years old? Most having had only a couple of 55+ people in them most all those years......the homes tend to be like new.
We think our 18 year old home (that we had built) is better than new........probably true for most resale homes in TV.
Forget the old vs new measurement and look for the right home.....everything else will fall into place.
In my opinion!

Also don't compare young vs. old in terms of resident ages either.
All those people who were 55 when they moved in here in the 1960's when they first opened? They're all dead. Replaced by people who were 55 in the 1990's. All THOSE people? They're around 80 now. And will be replaced within the next 20 years by the next batch of 55 year olds.
This is not a "retirement" community. It's not an "old age community." When people are no longer able to care for themselves and their spouses (if they have spouses) they move out. That frees up the home for someone else. While older folks do move in and out, it's MORE likely you'll see someone closer to 60 moving in, than you'll see someone who's 90 moving in.
And that is no matter where the home is.
