Retirement Resorts - Facts You Should Know

By John Lawole

When you retire it seems like you have all the time in the world to have fun, and there are quite a few great retirement resorts out there. There are even people who move abroad in the attempt to escape the huge taxes, the high stress and increasing criminality rate. Which is why many towns, villages and retirement resorts have been developed especially in the United States and Europe.

You can enjoy lots of facilities on site. 'Third age' or retirement resorts have socializing areas, healthcare and special medical facilities, and areas maintained for sports and leisure activities. From a nice restaurant to a pleasant hour at the swimming pool, there is much you can enjoy in retirement resorts. Plus there are good properties to invest in and plenty of shopping facilities. From the economic perspective, retirement resorts deserve all the attention, and governments know that much money can be done with proper support.

Retirement resorts are normally located in warmer climates, which is usually the case with lots of retirement communities in the United States. Nevertheless, this is not a rule of the thumb, as some very nice retirement resorts can be found in Southern Spain, in Granada, where you have snow in the mountains and low temperatures in winter. The 320 days of sunshine is a nonsense and you should not trust everything you read in advertisements.

The budget, the lifestyle and the health benefits are the elements that should help you choose between several retirement resorts. The sense of community is also important, particularly if you think of becoming a permanent resident of one certain location. Friendship and social relationships are very appealing to many retirees although there are cases when the elderly show no inclination towards leaving their homes.

Relocation in fact demands for very serious investigations and lots of care. Many challenges need to be overcome before you can enjoy sand, sun and socializing. Are you sure you'll find peace and tranquility away from home? Health insurance, health problems, distance from the family are very important related issues, not to mention the impact of the legal or tax system. - 23305
