This beautiful village of affordable cottages might be the best place to retire
Serenbe
As people age into their 70s and 80s, some choose (often reluctantly) to move into retirement homes.
A new community and village, called Mado, aspires to become a place where residents can age in place. Although residents of all ages can live there, a portion of single-story homes will be designated for buyers aged 55 and up.
The idea is that if they move there in late middle-age, they won't need to move.
Located in northwestern Georgia, Mado will feature medicinal gardens, community activities, and housing. It will be the third village at Serenbe, a community of nearly 500 people of all ages.
Mado's construction started this past summer, and the first residents will move in this month, Serenbe co-founder Steve Nygren, aged 70, tells Business Insider. Homes will cost between $300,000 and $800,000, and rental apartments will be available at $1,000 a month.
