Florida 55+ community. Housing for older persons.

Search for homes

Florida has always been viewed as the perfect place to retire so it is no wonder that in the course of our business we will receive calls from interested persons looking to find information about or to purchase a home in a 55+ community.

The MLS has now made this search easier for real estate agents by providing "Qualified 55+ Community" as a search term we can use when searching for these types of homes and property for our buyers.

According to the Florida Commission on Human Relations requirements to be a housing for older persons include:

A: The housing is specifically designed and operated to assist elderly persons and is intended for, and solely occupied by, persons 62 years of age or older

B: The housing is intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older and meet the following requirements:

At least 80% of the occupied units are occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older.

The facility or community publishes and adheres to policies and procedures that demonstrate its intent to in fact be a provider of housing for older persons.

The facility or community complies with rules established by HUD for verification of occupancy.
