Current Research College Towns and Retirement Communities: A Good Fit for Your Town?

Over 100 retirement communities are now located on or near colleges and another 10 are in the planning phase. Most of these retirement communities are located in small towns.
These college-based retirement communities are responding to growing demand by retirees for ways to stay mentally and physically active. College towns become magnets for alumni and faculty when they are ready to retire.
