This is a multipart question:
I need to find out the approximate number of 50+ retirement
Communities that are already built with and average value of at least
$325,000 in the following states:
NJ (Please breakdown North, Central, and South)
NY (40 Mi Radius of Manhattan)
PA (30 Mi Radius of Philly)
CT (30 Mi Radius of Hartford)
MA (40 Mi Radius of Boston)
Also need to know the average # of Units in each Community

Next, the approximate # of people either moving or turning 50 in the
above states in the next year, 5 years, 10 years?

Finally, what percentage of those people will use the internet?

Request for Question Clarification by pafalafa-ga on 27 Feb 2006 07:53 PST

Can you clarify what you mean by a "retirement community"?

$325,000 is the price of a smallish house, these days.  It's hard to
imagine an entire retirement community with a value of only $325K.


Thanks,

I am referring to an active adult community (ones built by Toll
Brothers, K Hovnannian, ect) NOT assisted living communities (i.e
Sunrise Assisted Living)

As for the hosue value, I was referring to the average home price in
the community, not the entire community itself.  I agree, 325K was too
small I would bump that up to $400K as the average value of the house
in the community.

Please let me know if you need anymore information or clarification.  

Thank you for your help.

Just to clarify I just need general numbers not specifics.  I am not
interested in the names of the communitites or who built them just the
approx #.  Even if you can't get all the states I am more interested
in NJ and MA. Again, the same goes for the amount of individuals
turning 50 or be moving into NJ or MA in the next year, 5 years, 10
years.  Ideally I would like as much information as possible for each
state but more interested in NJ and MA.  I am willing to give at least
100% tip for this information as its extremely important to me.
