New York State’s variety of lifestyle options makes it an ideal retirement destination. While the hustle and bustle of New York City may be the first thing that comes to mind, the Empire State has much more to offer. From the beaches of Long Island, to Niagara Falls and the Finger Lakes out west, to the Catskill and Adirondack Mountains in the north, New York is filled with natural wonders and smaller, quieter towns.
Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 350 independent living communities in New York.
The median monthly cost of independent living in New York is about $3,000.

Independent living communities in New York don’t have specific regulations or licensing requirements. Communities are treated as regular rental properties and are subject to laws and codes as outlined in New York Residential tenants’ rights guide.
New York independent living communities can be stand-alone facilities but many may also share a campus with other senior living facilities like assisted living or memory care communities. These communities offer a higher level of care than independent living and are subject to state licensing and regulatory oversight. To explore other senior living options in New York visit our overviews of assisted living or memory care.
