Active-adult communities are becoming increasingly popular in Florida, as residents seek more than just a home within a gated community. These new 55+ communities focus on providing residents with an active and social lifestyle through innovative amenity offerings and homeowner activities.

Florida is the perfect location for these 55+ communities, as the weather allows residents to enjoy a wide variety of outdoor amenities year-round. Popular community amenities include clubhouses with fitness centers, pools, tennis and pickleball courts, dog parks, and walking trails. These amenities encourage outdoor exploration and community engagement, providing inspired lifestyle opportunities for active adults.

Living within an amenity-filled community means that active-adult residents, along with their loved ones, can enjoy exploring numerous hobbies, without having to travel outside the community. Active adults are in love with the convenience and excitement that comes with choosing to live in a 55+ community.

A premier amenity that has been gaining traction in Florida is the Metro Lagoon by Crystal Lagoons®. This incredible amenity is based on a concept that has proven popular both in the United States and internationally. The lagoon itself features remote monitoring which keeps the water consistently clean while using fewer chemicals than a standard backyard pool. It offers residents the unique opportunity to explore swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding on its clear-blue waters, while the beach’s shaded cabanas provide the perfect place for relaxation.

Medley at Mirada, a new 55+ community by Lennar, will soon feature the second-largest Metro Lagoon by Crystal Lagoons® in the United States, making it a huge draw for active-adult buyers. Located just 30 minutes north of Tampa in Pasco County, the community’s 15-acre lagoon will offer an exceptional lifestyle for residents and encourage water-inspired activity. Additionally, Medley at Mirada provides its residents with an impressive social calendar full of enticing events, so there’s always something new to explore.

Whether you’re seeking a lagoon lifestyle or prefer to relax at the clubhouse, Florida’s 55+ communities offer inspired amenities to keep you active and socially engaged. You can find your dream home within a community that provides much more than just a home; offering a fresh way of living for years to come.
