Making the Move: When Is the Right Time to Move to an Active Adult Community?

At Clark in Grand Rapids, Michigan, we believe that life after 62 is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Whether you’re looking for more social connections, an active lifestyle, or a maintenance-free home, joining an active adult 62+ community can enhance your quality of life and give you the freedom to focus on what matters most. 

But when is the right time to make the move? The simple answer: when you’re ready to enjoy more and stress less. If you’re considering transitioning to a vibrant, active adult community like Clark, here are some signs that now may be the perfect time to embrace this lifestyle. 

1. You’re Tired of Home Maintenance 

Owning a home comes with responsibilities—yard work, home repairs, and upkeep—which can become overwhelming over time. At Clark, we take care of the landscaping, snow removal, and exterior maintenance, so you can enjoy a worry-free lifestyle. Imagine spending your time traveling, relaxing, and having fun with friends instead of dealing with home repairs! 

2. You Want to Stay Active and Healthy 

A healthy, active lifestyle is key to feeling your best, and Clark makes it easy to stay engaged. Whether you enjoy walking trails, fitness classes, yoga, or pickleball, our community offers endless ways to keep moving and stay physically and socially active. We believe wellness isn’t just about exercise—it’s about living well every day through fun, friendships, and fulfilling experiences. 

3. You’re Looking for More Social Connections 

If you’re feeling a little isolated in your current home, it may be time for a change. Clark is more than just a place to live—it’s a community. With opportunities to join clubs, attend social events, and participate in activities, making new friends is easy. Whether it’s a morning coffee chat, game night, or group outing, you’ll find plenty of ways to stay connected and engaged. 

4. You Want a Home That’s Designed for Your Lifestyle 

Your priorities may have shifted over the years, and a large, multi-level house might no longer fit your needs. At Clark, our modern, maintenance-free homes are designed for convenience and comfort. Featuring open floor plans, energy-efficient designs, and single-level living, these homes make daily life easier and more enjoyable. 

5. You Want to Plan for the Future on Your Terms 

Many residents say they wish they had moved sooner so they could enjoy all the benefits of an active adult community before it became a necessity. Moving now allows you to choose the lifestyle you want, in a place where you feel at home, on your own terms. By transitioning early, you can settle in, build friendships, and start enjoying all the perks of Clark right away.
