Rethinking Retirement Creative Housing for Seniors

摘要

Lately, I've been considering downsizing, not only to save on mortgage payments and maintenance but also to get a jump on my next phase of life, when the kids-school-work routine of the past 30 or so years is replaced by the read-travel-relax routine of retirement. So far, the choices - boxy condos in antiseptic high-rises or houses that are short on space but long on yardwork - don't appeal. And I'm loath to give up the relationships I've formed in my current neighborhood.
