I've been on a quest for a while for the "best" retirement community in Southeast Florida. So far, I have checked out and ruled out Wynmoor and Kings Point Tamarac. Now I'm considering Delray Kings Point and the Century Villages in Boca and Deerfield Beach. I think they are the only remaining massive retirement communities I have not yet checked out in northern Broward/southern Palm Beach county.

My #1 most important criteria, by far, is amenities and activities. So far, from what I've been able to research online, I get the sense that the two Century Villages are predominantly snowbirds. They have lots of activities during the "season," but those activities, if I'm right, drop off considerably during the off season. Does anyone know if I am right about that? Since I'm single and would live there year round, I need endless activities that don't stop when the temperature warms up.

Don't know much at all about amenities and activities at Delray Kings Point, but after seeing the Kings Point video, I'd have to make sure the misery portrayed in that video is greatly exaggerated.

So my question is, which of the three is the most active, year round? And if you know which of the three appears to have the youngest demographic, that would help, too (I'm 59).

After living in Florida for 40 years......and seeing poor retirees I would say that Kings Point video is spot on.

Article on poor retirees, not eating since they have no money. Most are in Century Village type places. Paper calls them "Hidden Hungry"
