Tennessee:

Located in the heart of the South, Tennessee is known for its rich musical heritage, scenic beauty, and relatively low cost of living. From the rolling hills and farmland of Middle Tennessee to the majestic peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains in the east and the fertile Mississippi River Delta in the west, the state offers a wide variety of landscapes.

Cities such as Nashville and Memphis are cultural hubs, famous for country, blues, and rock ‘n’ roll, while Knoxville and Chattanooga combine historic charm with modern amenities.

Tennessee has no state income tax on wages, making it attractive to retirees, though it does levy sales taxes that are among the highest in the nation. The climate is generally mild, with four distinct seasons, allowing for year-round outdoor activities.

With its combination of affordability, natural beauty, and cultural vibrancy, Tennessee appeals to those seeking both an active lifestyle and Southern hospitality.

Why are HOA Fees So High in 55+ Communities?

HOA fees in 55+ communities are often higher than in traditional neighborhoods because they cover a wide range of amenities and services that are designed to support a maintenance-free and active lifestyle. These fees typically pay for the upkeep of common areas such as clubhouses, fitness centers, pools, and walking trails, as well as activities, classes, and events that cater to retirees.

They also usually include services like landscaping, exterior maintenance, security, and sometimes even transportation, all of which help residents enjoy a worry-free environment. Because 55+ communities often emphasize resort-style living and social engagement, the cost of maintaining these amenities and services is passed along to homeowners through higher HOA fees.
