Age-restricted MHCs offer Strong Sense of Community

Noting the growing trend of retirees downsizing to homes that are more manageable and affordable, monroemonitor.com in Monroe, Washington suggests there is a growing market of used manufactured housing in 55+ retirement communities that with a little elbow grease can lead to living well, green and stylish. By replacing the flooring, appliances and lighting with materials from surplus and second-hand stores you can give an entirely new look to a tired home at budget prices. Many manufactured home communities (MHCs) offer recreational activities, controlled entry, swimming pools, a social center for group gatherings and lots big enough for a small garden. As MHProNews understands, the dangers of isolation on mental, emotional and physical health are very real for seniors, and the sense of community and caring that can come from an MHC is priceless. Many people would prefer to look out their front door and see earth and sky instead of a hallway in an apartment building. ##
