Re: Retrement Apartments
I have two friends, in beautiful retirement apartments, one with a garden, the other has the penthouse apartment. They both love them, like that they're managed, but have no interest in participating in anything socially. They're both very active in their own right. I do think they're great if you are on your own and don't have a lot of family or friends.My partner's mother lives in a retirement village in Oz and it looks like a holiday village! Swimming pool, the lot! Suits me

Re: Retrement Apartments
I know a few who sold their houses to move into one when the children flew the nest. They say they like it on the rare occasions I now see them. The best one around our neck of the woods costs £1000 a week......I'm hanging on in my house I like having a front and back door with gardens and good neighbours, I've never lived in a flat only houses.01-11-2014, 04:31 PM
