New Real Estate Term: Wellness Community

Have you been hearing the term “wellness community” pop up lately in real estate circles? What does it actually mean? Is it just another name for a senior living community?

Not quite.

🌿 A wellness community is a residential development that’s intentionally built to support the physical, mental, and social well-being of its residents. Typically, these types of developments include:

✔ Walkable neighborhoods
✔ Access to fitness and nature
✔ On-site health services
✔ Strong social connection and community events
✔ Homes designed for all stages of aging

They’re not just for retirees — but many seniors are finding that these communities offer exactly what they need: the freedom of independent living with the added support of holistic wellness built into daily life.

As an SRES® designee, I help clients explore all the options — from aging-in-place to active adult communities to wellness-focused neighborhoods that offer a new way to thrive in your next chapter.
