Are you considering retiring and moving to Colorado?  Colorado is known for being a healthy and fit state and is the perfect place to retire to for active seniors.

Many seniors retire to the area and rent a town house or condo, so that they don’t have to worry about lawn maintenance and other worrisome responsibilities.  A home close to shopping and bus routes can prove convenient.  Who wouldn’t want to live near the center of the city?

There are also a number of assisted living locations throughout the Boulder area such as Alterra Sterling House and Alterra Wynwood.  Independent living facilities in the area include Boulder Meridian, Golden West, Villas at the Atrium, and Presbyterian Manor.  Multilevel facilities include Golden West, The Academy, and Frasier Meadows.  There can be an exceptionally long wait for some of these homes, so apply early.

There are plenty of things for active seniors to do in the area such as enjoy the Pearl Street Mall, walk the creek path, or go fishing in Central Park.  Those who are interested in retirement centers will be happy to know that Boulder East Senior Center is nearby as well as Boulder West.  At these locations, you will find plenty of fun activities and opportunities to socialize, doing things such as taking a class in ballroom dancing, enjoying an art fair, or even playing some volleyball.

The Colorado University (CU) offers seniors the chance to take in nearly any class for a price of $5 to $60.  Boulder Parks and recreation offers retirees the chance to enjoy swimming, yoga, and even a walking group.

Colorado is a beautiful state to enjoy those golden years in.  With so much going on, it is hard not to stay active and healthy.  Come see the fun and healthy living that downtown Boulder, Colorado offers!
