## What counts as a 55+ new apartment?

A 55+ community is one designated as housing for older persons under the Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA). That designation is an exemption under the Fair Housing Act, and it comes with rules: at least 80% of occupied units must have one resident who is 55 or older, and the community verifies age at lease signing. A 62+ community is a stricter version of the same idea.

We label a building 55+ only when it’s designated that way. Listings that say “active adult” or “independent living” may or may not be age-restricted, so we check. Our guide on 

what 55+ means on a listing

[/guide/what-55-plus-means/ →](/guide/what-55-plus-means/)

 explains the differences.

## Which new 55+ communities are on the board?

Among the 

new apartments in Fort Worth

[/ →](/)

 on our board, that’s currently The Luxe at Matlock. It carries a ‘Who can rent here: 55+’ chip above the price, it’s counted in the area table’s restricted column, and it’s kept out of market-rate medians and ‘from’ cells.

Ennova Highlands sometimes shows up in 55+ searches. It is not 55+, and its plan suffixes are still being confirmed. When fewer than 3 communities qualify, the snapshot shows ‘Ask us’ rather than a median that one building could swing.

## What features do renters ask about?

Most of the questions we get are about getting around the unit and the building. We list these as building facts, never as a promise about who should live there:

-   Elevator access, or single-story and ground-floor units
-   Walk-in showers and grab bars
-   Level walkways and covered drop-off areas
-   Distance to parking

If you need a change to a unit or a policy, you can ask the community for a reasonable accommodation. We’ll help you put the request in writing. Our guide on 

picking the right unit in a new building

[/guide/how-to-pick-the-right-unit-in-a-new-building/ →](/guide/how-to-pick-the-right-unit-in-a-new-building/)

 covers floor, exposure, and sound.

## How is the price shown?

The same way as every other building: base rent, the special, net effective, required fees, true monthly, and year two. Specials at 55+ communities work the same way, so year two still prices from base.

Tell us your move date, budget, and the areas you’re open to. We’ll text you within minutes during our hours, then send a same-day list with the whole price for each qualifying community.

## Buildings we've profiled

## Why 55+ searches go sideways

### Similar labels mean different things

'Active adult' or 'senior-friendly' isn't the same as a designated 55+ community.

### Small counts skew the numbers

With fewer than 3 qualifying communities, a median would mislead, so we say 'Ask us.'

### Some listings look 55+ but aren't

Ennova Highlands is not 55+. Its plan suffixes are still being confirmed.

So we label a building 55+ only when it's designated that way, and say 'Ask us' when the count is small.

## What we do, step by step

1.  01
    
    ### Confirm the designation
    
    We check that the community is designated 55+ and what its age policy requires at lease signing.
    
2.  02
    
    ### Check the features
    
    Single-story or elevator access, ground-floor units, and accessibility features, stated as building facts.
    
3.  03
    
    ### Write out the price
    
    Base, special, fees, and year two, in the same format as every other building.
    
4.  04
    
    ### Tour or video walk
    
    We tour the actual unit with you, or send a video walk of it.
    

Free. Your rent is the same either way.

## Features renters ask about

Photos show the kind of building on this page. Ask us for a video walk of the actual unit you'd sign for, not the model.

## 55+: questions we get

### Which new 55+ communities are on your board?

Currently The Luxe at Matlock. When fewer than 3 communities qualify, the snapshot shows 'Ask us' instead of a median.

### Does 55+ mean everyone in the household must be 55?

Not always. Under the Housing for Older Persons Act, at least 80% of occupied units must have one resident 55 or older, and each community sets its own policy.

### Is an 'active adult' community the same as 55+?

Not always. We label a building 55+ only when it's designated that way.

### Is Ennova Highlands a 55+ community?

No. Ennova Highlands is not 55+. Its plan suffixes are still being confirmed.

### Do you list accessibility features?

Yes, as building facts: elevator access, single-story or ground-floor units, walk-in showers, and grab bars where present. You can request a reasonable accommodation through the community.

### Are 55+ prices included in area medians?

No. Age-restricted communities stay out of market-rate medians and 'from' cells, and they're counted separately in the area table.

### Do you guarantee the price or my approval?

No. The community sets both pricing and approval, and we confirm them in writing before you sign.
