Best In 55+ Real Estate™

Gillespie County leads Texas in 55+ home values, with a median of $460,700 — the highest among Texas counties with significant 65+ populations. This is not a market of new builds, but of entrenched equity and low inventory. What does this mean for the future of age-restricted communities? The data from ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis reveals that retirement real estate is no longer about affordability — it’s about securing place-based permanence in high-demand, low-supply zones. For 55+ buyers, the real estate strategy isn’t just about where to live, but how to release equity to move with financial freedom. This shift is reshaping the entire active-adult housing landscape.
