Inland Master-Planned and Gated Communities

From retirement communities in Tennessee to planned communities in Florida, there’s a destination for you out there. It’s just figuring out where it is you want to land. At ideal-LIVING, we’re here to help. Find the perfect place for you to call home and make your retirement or relocation dreams come true in one of our inland communities.

What Is an Inland Community?

Simply put, it merely means you don’t live next door to, or on, the beach. You’re inland, putting you close to bustling city centers for shopping, dining, hospitals, and more. From amenities and clubhouses, these communities are designed to provide resort living. It’s easier than ever to settle into one of these homes.

Why Choose an Inland Community?

Some are active adult communities while others are 55+ communities. Others are golf communities with gorgeous lake views that allow you to hit the links at your leisure. Choosing a community that’s “inland” is still just as much a destination and way of life as choosing to live by the sea. In fact, these locations are carefully planned communities, designed with enticing features that may include:

  • Fitness centers, trails, and sports facilities for tennis and pickleball to help you maintain an active lifestyle.
  • Lakes and other features for various water activities. Inland doesn’t mean you can’t live by the water.
  • Gorgeous golf courses that are built into the landscape of some of these communities. Take in the scenery of your new home while you play a game of 18 holes.
  • Options for your ideal home plan, such as single-family, one-story, two-story, townhomes, and more.
  • Location, location, location. As mentioned earlier, inland communities can provide a serene setting that’s not far from major travel routes. They offer big-city conveniences like shopping, dining, and healthcare. Other nearby attractions make for perfect day trips or weekend getaways.

Where to Go From Here?

With so many options to choose from, you should consider the region you want to be in, the main amenities you’re looking for, and the type of community that best fits your lifestyle.

From 55+ communities to the best tennis communities and private retirement communities, you can find the one that has all that you need for this time in your life.
