Overview

Senior & Age-Restricted Housing covers housing for older adults — independent living, active-adult (55+) communities, and the housing component of senior living (distinct from the care-intensive assisted living and skilled nursing on the healthcare side). It spans senior-housing REITs (Welltower, Ventas), operators, and active-adult developers serving an aging population.

Demand is propelled by powerful demographic tailwinds — the aging of the baby boomers creating sustained, multi-decade growth — with independent and active-adult living the more real-estate-like (less operationally-intensive) segments. It is consolidating around senior-housing REITs and operators; care-intensive senior care (assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing) is profiled under healthcare.
