Welcome to CommunityMatcher.com

We can help you find a retirement community that best matches your search criteria — with no expectations or strings attached on our end. This is a non-biased search of all communities, and we do not get paid for referring homeowners to any of them.

There are two main steps to help you create your “search criteria” and find the best matches — plus an optional third step if you’d like to know your home’s value.

Part 1: All About the Community
Scroll down this page and use the Community Matcher to enter your preferences.

Part 2: Prioritize Your Community Criteria
Complete the Prioritization Grid exercise. It takes a little more time, but it gives you a much clearer picture of what matters most to you — from your #1 top priority down to your least important criteria.

Part 3: Your Home Value Estimate
If you’re curious about your home’s market value and potential proceeds after taxes, share a few details below.

Part 4: Your Financial Roadmap
Helps you assess your financial picture — from your current age to your planning horizon — so you can make informed choices for your future.
 

If you prioritised your search criteria for relocating to another area you can also click the link below to use our RE-LO MATCHER.

Part 2: Prioritize Your Community Criteria

Part two is NOT mandatory, but this quick activity helps you identify what matters most when choosing your future community. You’ll go through some short comparisons between features (like “Covered Parking” vs. “Short Wait List”) and choose which one feels more important.  If you could only have ONE, what would it be?
 

Your answers will help us — and you — find the communities that best fit your needs and priorities. It only takes about five minutes, and it might seem crazy, but just play it out, trust your instincts, and make the choices that really matter most to you.

💭 If you can only choose one, what would it be:
