A 62+ community is an age-restricted neighborhood where all residents must be at least 62 years old. These communities are designed to provide a quiet, senior-focused lifestyle with amenities, activities, and services tailored specifically to older adults.
Unlike 55+ communities, they do not allow younger spouses or permanent residents under the age of 62.
