Independent Living vs. Homeownership: A Cost Comparison

Many families are surprised to discover that the “all-inclusive” nature of Independent Living can often be more financially predictable and less burdensome than the ongoing costs of homeownership. When comparing, consider these everyday expenses associated with maintaining a home in San Luis Obispo:

  • Mortgage or Rent Payments
  • Property Taxes
  • Home Insurance
  • Utilities: Electricity, gas, water, internet, cable, trash removal
  • Home Maintenance & Repairs: Unexpected expenses for plumbing, roofing, appliances, landscaping, etc.
  • Groceries & Meal Preparation
  • Transportation Costs
  • Out-of-Pocket Healthcare Expenses
  • Social & Recreational Activities

At Avila Senior Living, our comprehensive services help save you time, stress, and often money by consolidating various expenses into one predictable monthly fee. This allows residents to enjoy their golden years without worrying about home upkeep.
