Apartments and Communities March 27, 2024

At Greystar, we are committed to offering a diverse portfolio of housing options to meet the needs of residents across demographics and regions. One piece of our portfolio is age-qualifying housing, known as active adult. An active adult community is an age-targeted community for people 55 and over who want to enjoy an active, independent lifestyle. Residents live in their own homes managing their own needs but have a place to start fresh in a new chapter of life. 

Today, Greystar is the largest developer and manager of active adult apartment homes in the US. Greystar has continued to modify our approach over the last 6 years to grow and perfect our platform, expanding our footprint to span over 26 states, in 96 markets with over 125 communities by the end of 2024. Greystar proudly offers three brands of active adult communities: Everleigh, Overture, and Album with locations across the United States. Through our properties, residents can unlock their next chapter with many features and benefits: 

 

1.  Health and Wellness is at the Forefront

One of the primary advantages of active adult housing is its emphasis on health and wellness These communities often provide resort-style amenities to residents, including fitness centers and classes, swimming pools, putting greens, community centers, and enrichment activities. Regular exercise not only improves physical health but also boosts mood, cognitive function, and overall well-being, enabling residents to enjoy a higher quality of life as they age.

2.  Social Connection and Engagement Foster Community

Active adult communities foster a strong sense of community by providing ample opportunities for social interaction and engagement. From organized events and group activities to clubs and classes catering to various interests, residents have countless avenues to connect with like-minded peers, forge meaningful friendships, and cultivate a sense of belonging. We design and empower our properties (and their staff) to have the space to live holistically.
