If you are a "baby boomer", it is a fine time to live in Coweta County. "Baby Boomers" are any person born between 1946 and 1964. This nickname was created after the uptick in the post-World War two birthrate. As of 2014, there were 76.4 million "baby boomers" according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The total U.S. Population is currently 325,398,017 (worldometers.info). This makes "Baby Boomers" about a fourth of the U.S. population. With that in mind, Coweta County has seen tremendous growth in living developments and neighborhoods for those 55 years and older.

55 and older communities are ideal for individuals and couples that are looking to downsize and have less responsibility with their homes. Typically, responsibilities like lawn care, exterior maintenance and trash service are covered in the Homeowner Association dues for the neighborhood. You will usually find one-level homes and ranches with smaller lots in these communities. You may also find clubhouses, pools and other amenities. "Baby boomers" will soon have plenty of options in Coweta County as the local real estate market continues to thrive!
