Seniors and the City
Tens of thousands of retirees are
pulling up stakes in suburban areas and fashioning their own retirement
communities in the heart of the bustling city. They are looking for what most

neighbors and plenty of good restaurants. Spying and opportunity, major
real-estate developers have broken ground on urban sites they intended to market
to suburban retirees. These seniors are already changing the face of big cities.
One developer, Fran McCarthy asks: "Who ever thought that suburban flight would
