Goodkin Real Estate Consultants answer these questions and others with direct, precise, market-related answers.

Adult/Retirement Housing

Goodkin Consulting has done more pre-retirement and retirement housing market analyses than any other firm in the industry. As a result, we have become one of the leaders in the area of active adult communities and well-elderly housing, including lifecare, congregate, personal care, and adult day care.

Our firm is highly knowledgeable about designing and creating successful projects in this highly segmented marketplace, which ranges from “baby boomers” seeking active adult or pre-retirement communities, healthy retirees in their 60s and 70s, and older retirees who need more assistance and support.

Our team assists clients with:

  • Determining the most promising demographic market
  • Identifying the appropriate product mix and design
  • Suggesting appropriate amenities and services

Our firm has an extensive history of helping developers successfully enter the adult community/retirement field, including Del-Webb’s original Sun City development in Arizona, Century Village in Florida, and U.S. Homes’ Sunbelt communities.
