In this study, we reviewed primary motives of early older adults why they m move into senior zone, or so called elderly concentrated zones in American and Canada. The temporary residence in early old age is defined as a complex cluster for the moved old active group declaring a district or entire small city a special place of intensified aged population and thereafter offering safety and welfare measures for the outnumbered elderly. First of all, senior concentrating small cities along rural counties are final destination of retiring people who have been working on labor-intensified farms and mechanical shops in rural communities. We reviewed related literatures and qualitative interviews for major motives for movement into cottage complex in small cities in rural counties in Canada, regarding health care and welfare benefits. That will be the very center of new life in senior living after residential relocations. As a conclusion, moving into a cottage space at a rural town with age concentrated zones, later life is safer, more active than in urban building, and more accessible to social support network. Because they spent middle lives working heavily without adequate income and culture social activities, nearby small cities with social supports and policy considerations are affordable and satisfiable places. Above all, if an elderly couple or a single old person stay at a cottage near senior zone, their health care and activities are more open, easily accessible to social support network, and offered at lower cost. Overall, we propose a low cost complex type for the future.
