Delray Beach: An Ideal Setting
Delray Beach has been identified as a prime location for active adult communities. Recent rankings by Southern Living have placed it among the top 10 places to retire in Florida. Timothy Hosmer of JLL Capital Markets’ seniors housing team noted that the city’s large population of affluent seniors looking to downsize into lifestyle-focused communities makes it an ideal market.
Mike Nunziata, division president of 13th Floor Homes, echoed this sentiment, stating, "As demand for premium rental housing among the active-adult community grows in South Florida, we saw Delray Beach as the ideal location for our latest build-for-rent community."
The community’s location provides convenient access to downtown Delray Beach and the South Florida coastline, situated approximately five miles eastward via State Road 806.
The Growing Active Adult Sector
Solera at Avalon Trails is part of a broader trend in the active adult housing market. Other notable developments in the region include Kolter’s upcoming Esprit community in Palm Beach Gardens and Kolter Homes’ recently opened Cresswind communities near Orlando. This expansion highlights the increasing demand for specialized housing options for seniors seeking comfort, convenience, and community.
