sounds like they will be leased apartments from Daily Sun

In fact, several new villages are on the drawing board, including The Lofts at Brownwood, available with annual leases and full amenities. This brings apartment-style living featuring a resort-style pool, clubhouse with game room, fitness center and gathering spaces, slated for spring 2020.

Just another reason not to like Brownwood.

The quote from the Daily Sun in post #2 says yes, with full amenities.

Are these being built now in Brownwood?

Wondering if they will have that industrial loft feel and look, like in a city location. Leasing a loft might be a stepping stone before an assisted living move.

They might be a good option for snowbirds.

If I read it correctly, the article said by annual lease. If so, that won't work for snowbirds.

I'm sure they have already researched a need/desire for this. I have personally heard interest from several villagers for the option to have apartment style living and it's not because they can't afford to own beautiful homes. The reasons I have heard for this are basically easier, less stressful living - less upkeep, no maintenance responsibility, etc. Others may choose it for easier monthly budgeting of expenses and/or increased security.

It's also becoming more popular up north - 55+ apartment living with all the amenities. The communities near where I currently live are gorgeous. They are not your typical apartment building. Hopefully, and what I would expect, is that TV will follow suit.

If it’s going to be an annual lease depends on cost, but could be good for those who have summer homes up north

Thank you for this very clear explanation and answers "Why would they do that?" for me. Three people in our Village have recently committed to move to Elan, the new assisted living apartments just finished on 466. This would be another alternative for many people who don't want to leave this place they have called home to find a smaller place.

I know snowbirds who rent the place they like in Florida on an annual basis and I am sure many more do.
