Boomers Want Convenience, Familiarity, and an Urban Lifestyle

Baby boomers considering where they'll spend their retirement say in overwhelming numbers that they prefer single-story homes as they live out their retirement years in the suburbs, according to a poll conducted by the National Association of Home Builders.

The poll of Baby Boomer owners and renters identified some distinct preferences:

* "One-third would choose a close-in suburb; another third prefer an outlying suburb; 25 percent desire a rural community; and 9 percent want to live in the center city." In Athens from close-in to outlying suburbs, allow me to drop a few names to you. Beechwood Hills and the General Hospital area to Timothy Road would certainly meet these needs. For those that want to be in a rural community, Oconee County GA still enjoys lower taxes, high property values, and is where those running away from the urban life-style flee! In terms of city living nothing can beat Five Points, Boulevard, or Normal Town!)

* About 4 out of 5 want a single-story ranch home, while the remainder actually prefer a two-story home.

* Most Important Features; Storage Space, Windows that open easily, Main-level master suites (we call them "Owner's Suites in Athens), and fully functional HVAC controls.

Wait, going through my checklist. Let's see, we have homes with storage, we windows that open easily, and main-level master suites! If you are looking to relocate, pick a BestBoomer top city in Athens GA. Once you're here, you won't ever want to leave!
