Why Are We Different?

…because we are the ONLY Retirement Community in Brevard County licensed to offer you a TRUE continuum of care.

“Baby Boomers like us are now retiring at a rate of 60,000/ day… so for the next 10+ years a lot will be looking for a good quality retirement community. We selected Buena Vida Estates because of the sound of laughter coming from the residents and staff, and endless smiles. There are no strangers here. Buena Vida is truly a place where the residents are happy, and enjoy life and each other. We felt like we had found a home.

It feels like we are on a cruise ship without getting seasick—meaning many activities, live entertainment, a bistro bar, wonderful food selection, several dining arrangements, a heated pool, housekeeping, and good security. We like the idea that we can just turn the key to our apartment and leave to travel. The days of owning a house are now over- we have no more worries about home security and maintenance, and the upkeep of housekeeping. If you want to remain ‘young at heart’ Buena Vida Estates will certainly make that possible!”
