Frequently
Asked
Questions

Active adult communities, also known as retirement communities, 55+ communities, or 55 and over communities, cater to the needs and preferences of those aged 55 and above who are seeking an enriching, low-maintenance lifestyle. Communities like these can be age-targeted or age-restricted. Age-targeted communities, like Amare Vita at Shadow Creek, design their offerings around the 55+ resident, but do not necessarily require all residents to be 55 and over. In contrast, age-restricted communities do require at least one individual in the household to be 55 or older.

Active adult communities can appeal to individuals who are looking to eliminate some of the hassles of homeownership like lawn care and snow removal, or who may live in different locations throughout the year and want the freedom to leave their home for longer periods without worry. In addition, various on-site amenities fostering physical activity and social interaction can be highly desirable to prospective residents.

At Amare Vita we seamlessly combine low-maintenance, carefree active adult living with the benefits of owning your own home. With no worries about lawn care and snow removal you can spend time doing the things you love. In addition, with an array of incredible amenities living a vibrant and engaging lifestyle is assured. Our houses for sale in Clive, Iowa are designed with active adults in mind, offering complete comfort and convenience.

Navigating the many terms associated with age-related housing can be confusing with terms like “active adult,” “independent living,” and “assisted living” often blurring the lines. To better understand these terms, it helps to view senior living as an umbrella under which active adult, independent living, assisted living and memory care segments can be found with one of the biggest differences amongst them being available services.

Think of these segments as being on a continuum beginning with active adult, where the level of support provided, and care needed is minimal and residents are independent. Moving across the continuum toward assisted living and memory care can increase both the need for and the degree of services. In active adult communities, possible available services could be lawn care and snow removal. Independent living services, however, could include meals, well-checks, and housekeeping, but residents are still primarily independent. With assisted living, daily activities such as dressing and preparing meals may become more of a challenge so access to needed support can help residents achieve the highest level of independence, allowing them to enjoy a full life.

At Amare Vita our villas offer more long-term flexibility than independent senior living. Designing our homes with aging in place in mind gives you more opportunities to remain in your home as your needs change. By incorporating subtle age-friendly features like 36-inch-wide doorways, wider turn radiuses, and zero-entry thresholds from the front door and garage we’ve created a living environment that adapts to your evolving lifestyle.

There are HOA (Homeowners Association) fees which vary in amount based on the community. These fees cover the upkeep and maintenance of all communal areas including amenities like the heated swimming pool and clubhouse as well as items such as the private streets and common-area landscaping. The HOA also covers lawn care and snow removal for each property located within the community. The HOA fees for Amare Vita at Shadow Creek are currently set at $300/month.

Low-maintenance living: This can be one of the most appealing aspects for many residents. Fewer tiresome household tasks like lawn care and snow removal free your time to pursue new hobbies and adventures. You may also be rightsizing from a larger home, granting you the benefits of less to maintain, clean, organize and manage, liberating your mind from the stress that owning many possessions can cause. At Amare Vita we take care of burdensome tasks like lawn care and snow removal. We also know quality is paramount and that rightsizing does not have to mean lowering your standards. Our dedication to quality is evident in every detail, incorporating luxury features you may not expect to see.

Social interaction: Residents of active adult communities tend to be of comparable age and places in life. Many are close to retiring or have retired and are looking forward to the next chapter. Having neighbors in similar stages of life can foster comradery and long-lasting friendships. Amare Vita targeted 55+ communities encourage social interaction through the various rich amenities available, but also through the thoughtful community design. Walking paths and a central hub of activity only steps away provide residents with numerous opportunities to engage with neighbors and stay connected.

Amenities: Many 55 plus communities offer a variety of amenities designed to help you live life to its fullest. At Amare Vita properties our exceptional amenities ignite a vibrant lifestyle. The clubhouse boasts approximately 2,200 square feet including a kitchen with countertop seating, a living area with a cozy fireplace and a pool table-perfect for hosting events or relaxing with friends. Additional amenities include a heated swimming pool, fitness room, pickleball and bocce ball courts, firepit and walking and biking paths all of which make Amare Vita at Shadow Creek the best place to retire.

Focus on long term well-being: Mobility becomes an issue as we age but well-designed modern homes offer subtle ways to help with this. Wider door openings, larger turning radiuses and zero-entry options offer residents the opportunity to age in place without compromising luxury, promoting both mental and physical health.
