Retirement village

Definition: A large group of retirement or sheltered housing dwellings

An increasingly popular concept, but unfortunately lacking any single, clear definition. Essentially anything from an estate to a full blown village-sized development of bungalows, flats or houses, intended for occupation by older people. Often include a number of recreation facilities, and sometimes a care home.
