Common Questions About 55+ Communities in NH

What is the difference between a 55+ community and an active adult community?

In practice, very little. Both terms describe neighborhoods designed for residents aged 55 and older, usually with low maintenance homes and shared amenities. You may also see them called active retirement communities, 55 and over communities, or 55 and older communities. The Gove Group represents communities across all of these categories throughout New Hampshire.
