(Newswire.net — October 23, 2013) Denver, Colorado — In addition, the Denver Metro Area also ranked on AARP’s top ten list. Both lists cited the area’s long life expectancy and its thriving housing market as factors leading to its high ranking. According to Ryan Jonke, owner and broker of Modern Real estate “The Denver area is a great place to retire, with plenty of activities for seniors and a safe community that provides an ideal place to settle down after a long career.”
Both USA Today and AARP’s top ten lists used similar methodology, noting that retirees are increasingly moving to denser urban environments rather than the suburb where they chose to raise families. The communities that made the list were the ones that scored high in walkability and had a variety of stores, restaurants, and social events. “The Baby Boomers who are retiring are not looking for a suburban lifestyle,” says Paul Kenner, owner and broker of Modern Real Estate. “Retirement is a second chance at a life that they may not have had the chance to lead while they had to choose places that were close to work and their children’s schools. The Denver area has a lot of opportunities for seniors to enjoy themselves and have an active lifestyle.”
“The Denver Metro Area has a lot of appeal to anyone who is looking to live a more active urban lifestyle.” Kenner says. “We have been hearing from our retiree customers that they are looking to live a similar lifestyle as millennials do. They are looking for proximity to big city amenities, trendy places to eat out, and entertainment options. We are proud to be able to find our retired clients find the property that suits their needs. They have worked hard all their lives to afford the life that they want, and I love being able to help them achieve it. Whether they are looking for an apartment, townhouse, or condo we have the property to meet their needs.”
