Which 55+ NEO community to pick for living in Florida?

There is no denying that there are many lifestyles you can aspire to for your so-called golden years. While some prefer to spend their time outdoors, playing water sports, tennis, golf (did you know that Florida is highly renowned for its golfing communities?), or simply walking through beautiful natural landscapes, others prefer to enjoy the spaces in their homes, making the most of all the amenities or spending time socializing in the common areas with other residents and lounging by resort-style pools or in the wellness spas that many communities have.

The broad range of 55+ projects in Florida available on NEO’s platform can meet the many needs and requirements of buyers. First, regarding the choice of area. The pre- and under-construction 55+ projects on NEO’s showcase are scattered across all of Florida, from north to south, from major cities to the quieter corners. All you have to do is set up NEO’s advanced search by choosing the area of interest if you have already pinpointed the Florida area you’d like to live in (find out how to make the most of NEO’s advanced search functions).
