Reap the benefits of downsizing by embracing an active retirement lifestyle filled with upsized adventure, companionship, and unbridled joy.
There’s no hard and fast rule about when to downsize. However, as the majority of individuals over 55 move from multi-bedroom dwellings to smaller homes, it’s worth considering more than square footage in the retirement living equation. After all, a fresh start in retirement isn’t purely about ditching large-scale homeowner hassles for smaller ones. It’s about discovering the just right place to thrive.
Simplifying a living situation can — and should — unlock abundant opportunities to enrich one’s life. This “next step” is about reveling in retirement. That means focusing on fun (an active, healthy lifestyle), friendship (a warm, welcoming community), and freedom (simplified yet comfortable living).
Fun: Embrace the Joys of an Active Lifestyle
Fun deserves the spotlight during those hard-won retirement years. An active retirement living community is paramount to not only sheer joy but also vital health benefits. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), an active lifestyle improves well-being (mind, body, and spirit) and independence as we age. The NIH touts the perks of engaging in fun, productive, and social activities, which range from lowering the risk of disease to reducing memory loss.
Fun is around every corner at Lindell Living:
- Pickleball leagues, casual games, and learn-to-play meetups fill our regulation court daily.
- Yoga classes, workout groups, and individual workouts on top-of-the-line equipment get folks moving in our gorgeous fitness studio.
- Aqua-aerobics and leisurely pool and spa time deliver exercise and relaxation at our alfresco saltwater oasis.
- Games and gatherings keep our clubhouse buzzing.
- Residents take advantage of our proximity to everything from the trails of Red Rock Canyon to the tables of Las Vegas’ renowned casinos.
Since an active, healthy lifestyle starts at home, Lindell’s light-and-bright 55+ apartments are designed to be welcoming, comfortable, safe, and secure. These brand-new units inspire joyful, luxury living while providing ample space to entertain or unwind. Some notable in-home features include:
- Posh digs that are 15% larger than the average Las Vegas apartment
- Spacious bedrooms, architectural-grade finishes, view-laden balcony, and warm gathering spaces
- Bells and whistles throughout (i.e., French-door refrigerator, quartz countertops, gas cooktop, premium LG appliances, and more)
- Gated and access-controlled community and regular security patrols
- Elevatored buildings with trash and recycling chutes
Friendship: Reap the Benefits of Easy Companionship
The importance of human connection can’t be overstated. Numerous studies highlight the benefits of socialization at all ages, particularly in our later years. According to the Mayo Clinic, adults with strong social connections have a lower risk of health problems, such as depression, high blood pressure, and unhealthy weight. Furthermore, older adults who have a healthy social life are likely to live longer than their peers with fewer friends. Therefore, finding genuine companionship and avoiding isolation has extraordinary health benefits.
Active people are drawn to like-minded, engaged individuals. A warm community that nurtures friendship and reduces social anxiety may make all the difference when seeking out the ideal place for retirement. At Lindell Living, we’re committed to creating opportunities for easy interactions with fellow active adults in a variety of ways:
- A packed activities calendar, which runs the gamut from Wine Down Wednesdays and hiking outings to themed parties and Pilates
- Resident-organized social clubs centered around books, gardening, cards, mahjong, and more
- Volunteer opportunities and educational seminars
- Luxury 55+ apartments designed for comfortable entertaining with newfound or lifelong friends
- A state-of-the-art clubhouse equipped for gathering, dancing, card games, and full-throttle (or casual) celebrations — and, of course, daily coffee
- Resort-style amenities (pool, fitness center, pickleball, and dog park) that naturally draw people together
Freedom: Savor the Simplicity of the Renter’s Life
The big draw of renting comes down to two key perks: hassle-free freedom and flexibility. According to a 2024 Harvard study, more than 1 in 5 older (65+) American adults rent instead of owning their own home. For many of these individuals, the upsides of renting involve more amenities, less maintenance, and better accessibility.
Lindell Living eliminates the hassles and headaches of homeownership so residents are free to live their best retirement. Here are a few perks of the 55+ leasing life:
- Maintenance-free, brand-new 55+ apartments
- Fixed, all-inclusive monthly rent, which allows residents the comfort of a predictable budget
- Premium finishes, appliances, and design
- Top-notch amenities — pool, pickleball, fitness center, and clubhouse
- Proximity to every convenience, from grocery stores to Las Vegas Medical District
- Gated community with safe and secure gathering spaces, apartments, and common areas that are easy to navigate
- Gorgeous landscaping, from stately palm tree arrays to elegant, drought-resistant outdoor spaces
The Upshot
Change is inevitable. Planning for that next step—whenever the time comes to downsize—shouldn’t be overwhelming. The key to optimal retirement living starts with a community that serves up fun, friendship, and freedom to live life to the fullest. With active retirement living and community connection at the forefront, a fresh start at Lindell Living will lead to the best chapter yet.
