There are three things one should know regarding active adults. They are usually referred to as mature individuals and their age range is usually over the age of fifty years. There are communities that have been created and built with them in mind as they have needs that are different yet similar in many ways. One also has to realize that in the future, there will be more people in this age group than ever before.

Some might want to enjoy a quiet time at their home, while others want to get out and do something new.
