That's more like where my relatives are. It's a nice intermediate step between owning and doing/organizing all the maintenance on your own house and a hi-density retirement apartment. Depending on expected timeframe in that style of living though, renting may make more sense than buying (although most discourage that approach as they want lots of turnover and liquidity for their owners).
My aunt and uncle moved into a nice low rise rental apartment six or seven years ago and with them being in their 80's I think a good idea. They had owned a number of different sized places over the years and could have afforded anything reasonable but one has to look at flexibility when age / health is factored in.
If a person loses an ability and needs a different setting it's easier to move out of an apartment than sell a house.
Unfortunately my aunt passed away and my uncle is on his own. His daughters drop in and keep an eye on him but Covid has him cooped up. He was a carpenter / cabinet maker all his life but now he doesn't even have a workbench to build a birdhouse. The building is mostly seniors.
