Active Adult Reviews: Central Ontario

Start the next phase of your life right!

Adult lifestyle communities are sprinkled throughout Ontario. And more are being developed all the time. Within a 100 kilometer radius of Toronto, there are dozens of superb communities tailored to empty-nesters 50 and older. But which is best? Which one is ideal for you?

Comfort Life has covered these resort-style communities since 2002, working with many in the retirement industry, interviewing community members, and monitoring the development of these communities. Each offers unique advantages and disadvantages, and has its own focus and characteristics. Reviews below are intended to provide an overview for prospective buyers, as they assess their options and begin the search for their next home. You'll find user comments and important background information. Contact the communities to learn more.

Adult Lifestyle Communities in the GTA and Central Ontario

Dundalk, Ontario
       

  • Edgewood Suites is ideal for people from urban Ontario who are ready to slow the pace, leave behind the city's traffic and noise, and take life easier. Situated in the town of Dundalk, this is an idyllic, tranquil home in the rolling countryside, where you have everything you need. That said, this new development is also ideal for people from the area who are ready to sell the farm or business and settle into a freer lifestyle.
  • Since moving in, I have enjoyed meeting new people and having activities to share, such as pizza nig

Hamilton, Ontario
       

  • There are many great things to say about St. Elizabeth Village, but one unique aspect of this community is residents' ability to leverage the market value of the home they purchase, through the community's life lease program. Given that real estate values rise consistently in Hamilton (especially on the mountain) this gives you the best of both worlds: the security and freedom of 55 plus living, along with the equity you'll build up from investing in your home here.

Oshawa, Ontario
       

  • Royal Heights Oshawa is ideal for seniors who want to move out of an older home and have the very best. It's also a smart move for those thinking ahead to changing care needs. If you are feeling some of the early effects of aging and want to move into a vibrant community of peers, this is the ideal situation for you. Look closely at this unique Oshawa opportunity.
  • Beautiful building with high end finishes. [There are] lots of amenities, and the staff are amazin

Aurora, Ontario
       

  • In a few short years, The Meadows of Aurora has created a mid-rise village of people who share both faith- and age-related values. It’s rightfully described as a “lovely community” that’s “caring and joyful.” The Meadows has carved out an idyllic lifestyle set in the countryside near Aurora, perfect for older Christians from the area, or those with family near here. Here, you can share life and moments together with like-minded, faith-oriented people.
  • Awesome place! My parents just love it. There are so many friendly people. Everyone looks after each

Niagara Falls, Ontario
       

  • Stoneridge Estates by Estates of Niagara brings together all that’s cutting edge in the world of retirement living. Little more than an hour away from downtown Toronto, we think it’s a savvy retirement choice for all older GTA residents—or anyone 55 plus from the Golden Horseshoe—looking for an affordable, comfortable lifestyle change. It combines that ideal location with state-of-the-art construction, innovative technology, and unique housing and ownership options.
