Over–55s community near me: what to look for
Are you thinking of moving to an Essex retirement village? If you’ve found yourself Googling ‘over 55 community near me’, you’ve come to the right place. At Burnham Waters, a luxury retirement community in Essex, we are pioneers in luxury senior living. We understand that whatever your choice upon retirement, it’s important that you know what your options are, so you are able to choose wisely with your future in mind. To help you make an informed decision, in this week’s blog, we outline some of the key things to look for when taking your next steps.
Accessible living
If you’re looking to move upon retirement, it’s important that your new home has ease of access. Of-course, this depends on the kind of home you’re looking to find, but if you’re looking for a retirement village, or community, then space shouldn’t be a problem. If you’re looking at independent living, new build retirement bungalows are always our recommendation.
New build retirement bungalows are spacious and built with wheelchair access in mind. It’s no secret that as we get older, our bodies become less able. Bungalows cater for every eventuality and don’t have stairs. Making the move to a spacious ground floor property now could mean that you don’t have to worry about a potential move, or house renovations later on in life.
At Burnham Waters, our over 55 retirement bungalows are built to M4(3) building regulations, making them (and their surrounding areas) fully mobility scooter, walking frame and wheelchair adaptable.
A sense of community
When googling ‘over–55s community near me’, you’ll come across a lot of local retirement options. What is important is that a sense of community comes across both online and in your initial viewings. In our opinion, it’s clear to see when a village has happy residents. If you’re looking at luxury retirement villages specifically, then you’ll see that most facilities are on site, which means there is plenty to get involved with, should you want to.
Be sure to have a look at the facilities, the clubs and the weekly meet ups that take place. This will give you an indication of the things on offer for the residential community. At Burnham Waters, we offer a vast range of on-site community activities for our residents.

When considering you retirement options, ensure that there is an adequate support network to help you, should you need them.
