For many adults 55 and over, the next chapter of life brings exciting possibilities. As families grow and life evolves, so do our needs for a home that supports this new stage. Downsizing, or better yet, **smart-sizing**, is all about finding a space that simplifies life while enhancing comfort and lifestyle. Twin Oaks in Hollister, CA, offers an ideal destination for those seeking the perfect blend of modern amenities, thoughtful design, and an enriching community.
A recent study by HireAHelper.com found that 38% of retirees plan to relocate to other states, yet many prefer to stay close to their families—especially their grandchildren.
For Bay Area retirees, the challenge has often been finding the right mix of affordability and convenience. Twin Oaks Hollister is here to change that, offering a refreshing approach to downsizing without compromise.
In addition to retirees, a growing number of pre-retirees in their mid-fifties to sixties are also looking for the perfect home to match their evolving lifestyle. These individuals often work part-time or run home-based businesses, seeking a space that allows flexibility for work, leisure, and entertainment.
For years, "downsizing" has been the go-to solution for empty nesters, but traditional downsizing hasn’t always hit the mark.
Many who traded in their large homes for smaller apartments found themselves yearning for more flexibility, space, and comfort. **Smart-sizing** offers a more thoughtful approach, striking the perfect balance between right-sizing and upgrading lifestyle. Twin Oaks Hollister was designed with this in mind, offering homes that are perfectly sized for ease, style, and enjoyment. Ranging from 1,579 to 2,011 square feet, these homes are tailored to today’s active adults.
So, what are the must-haves for today’s 55-plus smart-sizer?
