Burbank Senior Artists Colony in Burbank, Calif., targets a specific demographic: aspiring artists. Americans looking to paint well into their 60s and 70s or write their first novel can do it at Burbank. The 141-unit community boasts a 40-seat performance theater, artist studios and classrooms, a library, and art display galleries. Rent runs between $1,300 and $1,900 per month, not including healthcare services.
