The active-adult apartment complex, Larkspur at Twin Creeks, is in a master-planned community.
ALLEN, TX—There are approximately 47 million senior citizens in the United States and that number is expected to double by 2060. With the rapid increase of seniors comes the increase of renters. In fact, the number of renters in their early 60s jumped 84% between 2006 and 2016.
With more seniors living longer and staying active, expectations for amenities have resulted in developers upping their games in senior living communities. For example, Larkspur at Twin Creeks, an active adult senior living community recently completed by KWA Construction, offers private wine lockers and a private putting green near dining, shopping and outdoor activities.
