Before retirement, because of busy work, can not care about the enjoyment of life, and more free time after retirement, due to the abundance of funds, they do not have to sell the central city of the house to buy a retirement home, this type of older people, often in the pre-retirement planning to buy a house for themselves.
The second category, this type of elderly people have a house in the center of the city, but not much savings. For them, living in the central city after retirement is a waste of their residential capital. They tend to rent or sell their homes in the central city or give them to their children to live in, and live on their own in relatively low-priced suburban properties with a much superior environment. For this reason, when buying a retirement home, they often choose a suburban disk that is a moderate distance from Hangzhou.
The third category, the children of economic strength, to buy homes for the elderly at home, hoping that the old people have a better place to live in their old age. Children to buy retirement housing for the elderly, most of the choice of suburban real estate. On the one hand, the price of housing in the suburbs is lower. On the other hand, the children understand that the elderly like the peace and quiet of the suburbs, and after a lifetime of hard work, they are more excluded from the noisy environment. Hopefully, the scenery is good health treasure, there are mountains and water, have their own garden.

Therefore, the area of the elderly housing should not be large, compact small house is the best choice. The elderly can not afford to spend money, so the price should be moderate, preferably not more than the original price of the old house sold.

Walking 15 minutes to be able to reach the food court, banks, supermarkets, etc. is the most ideal, convenient for the elderly life. As very few older people drive private cars, so the pension housing area, the best bus lines are concentrated, the elderly travel convenience.
NO.7 The community must be able to provide basic senior care services for the elderly.

In addition, the total price is low, the risk is also low, the elderly life more at ease.
