Ultimate List of 55+ Communities in Florida

It only makes sense that there would be more 55+ communities in Florida than in any other state, and I believe this is the most up-to-date list around.

If a 55+ community is still building and selling new homes, you’ll find them on this list!

We are constantly updating this list, but if you find a phone number that needs to be updated, a community that’s no longer relevant, or a community that we somehow missed, let us know here.

Because prices change so frequently, please visit the website links for each community to get the most current pricing.

We’re also working on breaking this list down into smaller posts based on what/where people are interested in.

Here’s what we’ve got so far:

• Most Affordable 55+ Communities
• 55+ Communities in Naples
• 55+ Communities in Ocala
• 55+ Communities in Palm Beach County
