Enjoy the freedom of retirement living
Parkbridge offers a unique opportunity
With more Canadians approaching retirement now than at any other time in our history, what are some important considerations for those who are soon-to-be or recent retirees?
Staying healthy and active is key; when you feel good, it’s easier to be open to new experiences. Staying connected with others is also important — studies show that those with strong social networks are happier with their lives. And spending time doing things you love is a surefire way to enjoy your retirement years.
For many, downsizing is the best and easiest way to free up money for what matters most. While some retirees may not be ready to move into a condo, f inding ways to escape large mortgage payments and unlock money tied up in their large homes is a logical and attractive alternative.
An exciting new option is a land-lease home in an adult lifestyle community. With land leasing, you own your home, but lease the land it’s on. It’s a simple way to scale back and free up cash so you have the time and money to enjoy the lifestyle you want to live.
Rob Tallis, vice-president of sales marketing, home construction and land lease expert at Parkbridge Lifestyle Communities, Canada’s leading owner, operator and developer of land lease communities says, “What makes us unique is the sense of community you don’t get in a condominium complex or through single-family-home living. Our residents enjoy ongoing community events and amenities such as recreation centres, swimming pools, golf courses, wood-working shops, libraries, walking paths and more, all at an affordable price.”
Another big perk of land leasing is the maintenance that is often included in the living costs. Many communities take care of lawn maintenance and snow removal, so homeowners can relax and enjoy the amenities their community offers.
