On this segment of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we’re continuing our Grandparents Day discussion with a closer look at the extracurricular activities, hobbies, and lifestyle choices that influence how grandparents think about real estate today.
It’s not just about downsizing or moving closer to loved ones. Many grandparents are looking for homes that align with their active lives — whether that means proximity to golf courses, pickleball courts, walking trails, cultural events, or even having space for gardening, hobbies, and community gatherings. These decisions go beyond bricks and mortar; they reflect a vision for retirement and how they want to spend their time.
We’ll explore how these lifestyle factors connect with housing trends across Metro Atlanta and North Georgia. For example, neighborhoods that offer easy access to social clubs, recreational amenities, or even lock-and-leave convenience are increasingly popular among retirees and grandparents. At the same time, many are balancing the need for convenience with the desire to have room for the grandkids when they visit.
As always, we tie it back to real estate strategy. The right home isn’t just about square footage—it’s about supporting the life you want to live. Whether you’re planning to downsize, relocate, or simply reimagine your space, understanding how your lifestyle influences your home search can help you make smarter, more fulfilling decisions.
And don’t forget: with our Upside Program, you can explore every option before you make your next move.
At Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we’re here to help you go from novice to expert so you can buy and sell real estate with total confidence—and without the worry that often comes with life’s biggest investments.
