The Best Senior Apartments in Florida:
A Comprehensive Guide
Florida senior apartments--market rate rentals for over 55 or 62 (but please verify age requirements). We have included some condo communities as they often have owner rentals. Check with their management.
Average rental rates for 55+ senior apartments in Florida even after recent increases are reported as $1200-$1300.
Important: Please note that apartment rental rates and terms can change at any time without notice, therefore, verify all information. (Mileages listed are approximate.)
We have highlighted in yellow those with seasonal rental options. Apply early. They can have long wait lists.
A true seasonal rental would come fully furnished. Some rental communities will have short-term rental leases but not furnished. In that case, you would have to rent your own. If you forgot what it's like to rent, see tips for renting.

Where are the best Florida senior apartments?
There are many wonderful senior apartments in Florida, but the best ones are probably in the southern part of the state. The reason for this is that the weather is nicer in the south, and there are many amenities and activities available for seniors. Also, the cost of living is probably lower in the south, which can be a big factor for seniors on a fixed income. Some of the best senior apartments in Florida are in cities like Miami, Fort Lauderdale, and Tampa. Also see our low income apartments in Florida if your income qualifies.
