It’s snowbird season: 4 retirement communities in Florida

While some might celebrate spooky season, the season of giving or the holiday season, in Florida, once November hits, we all know what season it is—snowbird season! Snowbird season runs from about November to March, when smart northerners flock down to spend the cold months in retirement communities in Florida.

With beautiful beaches, swaying palm trees and sunny weather at their fingertips, who could blame them? There are a variety of senior communities in Florida, making it easy to find the perfect place that fits your lifestyle.

What is a snowbird?

A snowbird is a northerner who moves down south during the winter to enjoy the warmer temperatures. During the winter, many snowbirds choose to move to Florida due to the year-round beautiful weather. Whether they choose to live in a house, apartment or drive an RV down, having a second community also allows snowbirds the ability to build new relationships, discover new places and overall relax. Being a snowbird can also be affordable! Many 55 plus communities in Florida offer amazing options for seniors looking to spend the winter in a warmer space.

Here are a few examples of retirement communities in Florida.
