Florida is known for its relaxing atmosphere and luxurious retirement homes. As more and more aging baby boomers move to Jacksonville to experience the lifestyle, the spark for investment in senior-living communities increases. The state reports that between 2010 and 2030, Florida’s population of those age 60 and older will account for most of the state’s growth, representing almost 58 percent of the gain.

Jacksonville is already home to many senior communities, and now two more are in design for the Mandarin and southwest Jacksonville area. Jacksonville-based Vestcor Communities will develop a $22 million community along San Jose Boulevard, while principal Senior Living Group of Alpharetta, Ga., plans to enter the Jacksonville market with the estimated $9.8 million Benton House at Oakleaf.

This is good news for Jacksonville movers who intend to move seniors into these communities. Since the retirement-and-over age group will comprise almost 25 percent of the population in 2030, up from 17 percent in 2010, local Jacksonville moving companies better get ready for a surge in senior relocations over the next 15 years.

As a new senior resident in Jacksonville, you will have no problem meeting new friends in the area. Whether you are relocating yourself or relocating a family member to Jacksonville, finding a senior community will not be a problem. Local Jacksonville movers at All My Sons will also help every step of the way on moving day, making your move stress free.
