Age-restricted Community

In commercial real estate, this typically refers to a restriction on residential communities, where residents must be a certain age or older, often 55+. Investors often see these communities to have an advantage based on residents having surpassed periods in life with conflict (such as divorce or income difficulties), where residents may have also downsized from traditional housing and have more steady income (either from fixed pensions or social security payments) than demographics of all-age communities.
