With everything included, independent living means affordable luxury!

Comparing costs of home ownership, 55+ apartments, independent and assisted living

With the hot real estate market in Issaquah, many seniors are seizing the opportunity to sell the family home and downsize to a retirement space. But what kind of retirement space is right for you?

“Many people assume that independent living is too expensive, but when you add up all of the services included in your rent there’s considerable value. It’s often well within your current monthly budget,” says Jennifer Graham, Sales Director at Revel Issaquah.

Comparing retirement living options:

  • 55+ apartments: Monthly prices are usually cheaper than other retirement options, but services are limited and amenities are typically similar to non-age-restricted apartment homes.
  • Independent living communities: For more services including dining, housekeeping, fitness and social classes choose independent living. “Not all independent living communities are the same, and some offer more services than others. That’s why it’s important to book a tour before you move in!” Graham says.
  • Assisted living communities: For those who need medical or home care assistance on a daily basis, assisted living is a great choice. Monthly costs are significantly higher and some communities require large, non-refundable upfront payments.
