is home to five million people and more are moving here
all the time. As we grow older not all of us will want to
move to the country. In fact studies show most of us boomers
will stay put. Some will even move closer in to the city.
We focus on Atlanta retirement homes inside
the perimeter.

Continuing Care Retirement Community
- CCRCs are so named because they address the entire continuum
of care with healthy seniors moving into independent living
apartments, but having the security of knowing they can
"age in place" thanks to assisted living and skilled
nursing services on site. The number of CCRCs nationally
has risen sharply over the past 25 years from 274 in the
early 1980s to 2,240 in 2005, according to the American
Association of Homes and Services for the Aging.
When Lenbrook, a continuing care retirement
community (CCRC), opened in 1983, two-bedroom units averaged
1,000 square feet.
Now the campus, which is just five blocks
north of Phipps Plaza, is undergoing a nearly $165 million
expansion including a 25-story tower and garden apartments
ranging up to almost 3,000 square feet, plus lavish amenities
-- including a spa, a gym, four dining rooms and a movie
theater, said Martha Jane Hudnall, the marketing consultant
for the community.
Lenbrook is one of three Buckhead CCRCs either expanding
or under development.

AARP
The Magazine has ranked Atlanta among the top five places
in which to retire.
"A sophisticated metropolis with southern
charm, Atlanta offers abundant volunteer and cultural opportunities,"
the magazine said. "Retirees also appreciate the wide
range of housing options."
Completing the top five are Beacon Hill in Boston; Chandler,
Ariz.; Milwaukee, Wis.; and Portland, Ore.
"The places we chose are ahead of the
curve in providing services for empty nesters, active retirees,
and everyone in between and we're thrilled to recognize
them for their efforts," said Steve Slon, editor of
AARP The Magazine. "City living may cost a bit more,
but urban communities also deliver peak value in the form
of culture, work options, mass transit and fitness opportunities,
and this year's selections really cover the spectrum."
AARP The Magazine said its selections focus
on livable community characteristics in each location including
mass-transit systems so residents can drive less, expanded
sidewalks to encourage walking, better health care, and
a wide range of mixed use housing. These qualities attract
members of the 50-plus age group, a segment that spends
more than $2.2 trillion on goods and services each year
and is expected to grow in size by 32 percent in the next
15 years.
Atlanta Condo News
According to an article in the Atlanta
Business Chronicle" Several major condo projects
are expected to be completed in 2008, with many appealing
to Atlanta's baby boomer population. (See box above for
a list of units under construction.)
"A growing trend in the condominium
market is developers of new high-end towers offering luxury
services to residents that save time, such as auto detailing,
pet services and other concierge perks," the report
stated. "Target buyers of new construction are primarily
retirees and move-up professionals who can afford these
services."
According to Haddow & Co., the supply
of condos in Atlanta should meet demand for another 31 months.
As a result, some condo developers have reversed their plans
to apartments, due to local market conditions and the credit
squeeze, the report stated.
In the pipeline
High-rises under development in Buckhead and Midtown:
Mansion on Peachtree: 42 units ($2.4 million
to $12 million)
Sovereign: 82 units ($1.2 million and up)
1010 Midtown: 426 units ($251,000 to $1.6 million)
Luxe: 117 units ($350,000 to $2 million)
ViewPoint (Phase I): 385 units ($210,000 to $480,000)
Trump Towers: 570 units ($400,000 to more than $1 million)
