Your Retirement, Your Way

Henderson County has enjoyed a reputation as an exceptional place to retire for decades. The climate, stable economy, healthcare options, volunteer opportunities, golf and other recreation, cultural arts and retirement living choices all make Henderson County a top choice for people 55 and older.

The area is a welcoming place where retired and semi-retired adults enjoy a wonderful quality of life and can continue to play a vital role in the community.

Some communities offer both singlefamily and attached homes with the convenience of one-level living. Most, but not all, are condominium operated and provide all exterior and grounds maintenance for a monthly fee. Most retirement communities also include emergency call systems and 24-hour security.
