Greater Boston's Retirement Communities

It would be tough to find anyone who hasn't heard of Boston. There's good reason for that. Boston is as vibrant today as it was centuries ago. Maybe more. This historic city has everything a city dwelling retiree needs.

Inside the city you won't find many retirement communities. But, within a few miles there are quite a few.

In Lynnfield, you will find The Windsor Estates and Heritage Woods are definitely on the high-end. The units are all open concept and stunning. They are convenient to Lynnfield Market Street and Routes 128 and Route 1. Similarly on the high-end, this time in Weston, are the 55-plus homes in Highland Meadows.

Priced far less than than Lynnfield and Weston are communities like Beechwood Village in Rockland and The Pines at Reading Woods in Reading Ma.

Cape Cod Retirement Communities

"The Cape" has a quiet, peaceful feel. Its small towns still have mom-and-pop shops. The restaurants are spectacular, with top notch oysters, lobster and seafood. Much of its land is protected, and will be preserved for generations to come. The beautiful rolling sand dunes on its shore-line go on for miles. Even during tourist season you can find a quiet spot without another beach-goer in sight.

All of this makes Cape Cod a wonderful place for seniors to retire. Communities, like The Residences at Seashore Point in Provincetown and Southport On Cape Cod in Mashpee feature maintenance- free living near town centers, golf and beaches. Whether you are already retired, or hope to be soon, The Cape offers a lot for the 55+ community.
