LESS
IS MORE
ACTIVE OLDER ADULTS DOWNSIZE TO ENJOY LIFE
By Kathy Dean
We hear it all the time: less is more. The phrase
rings especially true for older adults who are facing
empty nests and are ready to enjoy the second half
of their lives. Intown and north metro Atlanta offer
many comfortable options for them.
“Baby boomers have spent much of their lives
working and building their wealth for retirement,”
said Dawn Anderson, Realtor, Dorsey Alston Realtors.
“As retirement becomes more of a reality, they begin to
plan their transition to downsize. Ease of life, proximity
and affordability are certainly the downsizing common
goals of most boomers.”
The trend of 55+ active adult communities
continues to grow, Anderson said. “Baby boomers are
well qualified buyers and know exactly what they are
looking for.”
Kim Isaacs, aged 58, said that her townhome in
Avalon in Alpharetta gives her and her husband
everything they want. “We had lived in our previous
home in Johns Creek for 19 years. When our last child
left for college, we decided that we wanted a change
and really didn’t need a large house for just the two
of us,” she said.
