Where do you want to grow old?

I live in Minnesota in a Senior Cooperative. I love it here and hope I can stay as long as possible. We have 52 seniors living in the building with an exercise room, a library, and many activities. I love living with people my own age. We all have different health issues and it is very comforting to live somewhere where people do not mind hearing about the latest health deterioration due to aging.

Sounds ideal; or what my wife and I are looking for. How did you find it and how much did it cost you for your share, or rather, what would the buy-in range be? What do you share in common with the members of your facility? Major differences? I can still afford to buy a house on the G.I. Bill, but with Parkinson's I doubt I'd be able to turn it into a self-sufficient property: greenhouse for year-round food, water collection facilities, off-the-grid power, and other modifications and repairs.
