Considering a Condo? Why a 55+ Retirement Community Like Plantation Oaks Might Be the Better Choice

If you're nearing retirement or just looking for a lifestyle upgrade, you might be thinking about buying a condo. Condos are often marketed as low-maintenance and community-oriented — appealing qualities for anyone looking to simplify their lifestyle. But before you sign on the dotted line for a condo unit, it’s worth taking a closer look at another option: a 55+ active lifestyle community like Plantation Oaks of Ormond Beach.

Here's why a home in a 55+ community might just be the better fit — and a better investment — for your next chapter.

No Shared Walls, Ceilings, or Noisy Neighbors Above

One of the most common complaints from condo owners? Noise. When you’re sharing walls, ceilings, or floors with neighbors, your peace and quiet depends on theirs. At Plantation Oaks, your home is your own. No shared walls, no upstairs neighbors doing jumping jacks at 7 a.m. — just a peaceful, private space where you can relax and live life on your terms.

Your Own Oversized Two-Car Garage

Good luck finding a condo with a private, oversized two-car garage. At Plantation Oaks, it comes standard. Whether you're storing a classic car, golf cart, workshop tools, or just want extra space for guests or hobbies, you'll love the convenience and security of your own garage — no cramped underground parking or long walks from your car to your front door.

More Space, More Comfort

Condos can feel a bit tight, especially when downsizing from a single-family home. At Plantation Oaks, you'll find spacious, well-designed homes with room to entertain, relax, and truly enjoy your retirement. Front porches, back patios, and open layouts create the kind of lifestyle many condo dwellers quickly realize they’re missing.

Amenities That Go Beyond the Basics

Sure, some condos offer a pool or a small gym — but a true 55+ active lifestyle community offers so much more. At Plantation Oaks, residents enjoy:

• A beautiful clubhouse with events and activities

• Pickleball and tennis courts

• Resort-style swimming pool

• Walking trails and nature areas

• Community events and social groups

• And even RV/boat storage

It’s like living at a resort — but better, because it’s home.

A 55+ Retirement Community Built for Your Lifestyle

Plantation Oaks isn’t just a place to live — it’s a community designed with your lifestyle in mind. From low-maintenance living to neighbors in a similar stage of life, it’s easy to make friends, get involved, and stay active. Whether you’re into gardening, game nights, or just relaxing in the Florida sun, you’ll find your place here.

Final Thoughts

Condos might seem like the easy choice for a low-maintenance lifestyle, but don’t settle until you’ve seen what a 55+ retirement community like Plantation Oaks has to offer. With more privacy, more space, and more amenities, it's the kind of place that makes every day feel like a vacation — without the hassles of shared walls or limited parking.
