Looking at Real Estate in Port Orange, FL to Serve as Your Retirement Residence

There’s a reason why 55,000 people retire to Florida each year. Aside from the warm, sunny weather, there are also a host of perks here, such as the lack of state income/inheritance/estate taxes, a relatively low cost of living, proximity to stunning beaches, and excellent healthcare facilities.

Is it any wonder why so many people look at real estate properties around Port Orange and surrounding communities in Florida?

If you’re one of the people planning to call Florida home in your golden years, there are a lot of things you should consider before purchasing a house here.

Suits Your Age

When it comes to a house, older adults demand different features versus their younger counterparts. While stairs might not pose a problem to you at 30 or 40, they may hinder your mobility around the house once you approach your senior years. As such, bungalows might better suit your needs. Other features to look for might include open floor plans and wide entryways for ease of movement.

Near Medical Facilities

Thanks to modern medicine and good lifestyle choices, people are living longer than at any point in human history. That said, the older you get, the more you need to pay attention to your health. Therefore, it’s important to pick a home that’s close to all the best hospitals in the area.

How Big It Should Be

A majority of retirees will be empty-nesters—parents whose kids have gone off to college or have started their own families. Hence, you come to a reckoning of space: Just how big does your home now need to be? If there’s only two of you occupying the residence, do you really need its sprawling five bedrooms? By moving into a smaller space you are shedding some maintenance responsibilities and gaining more time to enjoy leisure activities.

Make It Budget-Friendly

Homes in Florida range from impressive beachside properties to modest suburban homes. Whichever option you end up choosing, make sure it will suit your budget. After all, retirement means more fixed income than rising income, so the price of the house must not be a burden to you during this period of your life.
