Single-family rental developers are making headway in the 55-plus crowd.
One of the most widely known and respected wellness developments in the U.S announced last year that it was doing just that. Atlanta-area Serenbe is adding a new aging-in-place campus that will include its own wellness club and medical facilities, along with 48 rental cottages, (and 40 apartments) when it opens in 2026.
“In the U.S., there has been a tendency in the last few generations to separate the youngest from the eldest members of our communities in gated compounds and large facilities,” shared CEO Steve Nygren. “We were inspired by ways of the past to create a more complete community that encourages intergenerational living and enables elders to remain in place,”
Serenbe’s wellness features will extend to the AIP campus, including easy access to nature, farm-to-table food, fitness amenities and programming, and other enrichment opportunities. Nygren anticipates that some of the new tenants will be related to current Serenbe residents who want their older relatives closer to them and to planned healthcare amenities.
