How many 55+ communities does Momentum track in Southeast Florida?
59 communities across 3 counties, each with a full guide. Prices in the guides are attributed to dated third-party sources, and HOA dollars appear where verified from active MLS listings.
What fees should 55+ buyers check that listings sites skip?
Four layers: HOA dues and exactly what they cover; any CDD or per-home bond (The Villages model) on the tax bill; club or amenity memberships billed separately; and for condos, the association budget and post-Surfside reserve schedule. The fee stack varies more among 55+ communities than the amenities do.
Are these communities legally allowed to be age-restricted?
Yes - communities operating under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act exemption may lawfully restrict by age. Each guide describes the restriction structure factually; verify the specific community rules and any occupancy requirements with the association.
