Tudor Oaks Properties, Ashland, KY’s premier property management company, says while apartment living is traditionally associated with young college students and families looking to save money, they also make excellent housing options for senior adults. In fact, the rental professionals at Tudor Oaks Properties say more elderly people are looking for apartment rentals now more than ever before.

Curious about this trend? Here are the top three reasons why senior adults find apartment rentals such a good living option:

• Accessible: Most apartment complexes are located near necessities like shopping centers, gas stations, and even parks. They’re also usually located in close proximity to public transportation, which is a big advantage for seniors who can no longer drive. Additionally, apartment units are easy for seniors to navigate and don’t have a ton of square footage to maintain.

• Amenities: Seniors may be giving up their own private yard when moving into an apartment rental, but the extra amenities they gain can’t be beat. From fully-equipped fitness centers to swimming pools and even community activities like game night, there’s plenty for seniors to do in an apartment community.
• Affordable: For some aging adults, affording a large home just isn’t feasible. After retirement, many seniors experience a drop in income, so it’s important for them to find an affordable place to live — and apartments offer exactly that. Additionally, many rental fees include other services like basic cable and utilities that make this an incredible cost-effective option.
