Retirees Choosing 'Traditional Neighborhood Developments'

The Monitor discovers that many older people are choosing to retire not to residential facilities, but instead to newly developed neighborhoods that feature intergenerational diversity, encourage walking, promote sociability with houses near the street and front porches, foster independence by being walkable, and promote safety because people circulate in the neighborhood. The article relies primarily on examples and quotes from developers and retirees and does not quantify the extent or demographics of the phenomenon.
