Rejecting their parents' way of doing things, members of this generation are making some unpredictable moves. Baby boomers are on the move. The self-absorbed flower-power generation is nearing retirement, and Leisure World is not necessarily its destination. Greater mobility, extra money and a desire to do things differently from their parents are propelling boomers into housing choices as varied as the colors in their old tie-dye T-shirts. Most are buying bigger and better primary residences, and in increasing numbers, they're purchasing out of state. Some are moving because they've left or lost jobs, others because they've found them. Some are heading for the desert, while others are resettling downtown. The range reflects their evolving lifestyles. "Boomers are turning into yuppie seniors," said Bill Frey, a demographer and visiting fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington. "They have intact families, both spouses have worked, and they're interested in upscale moves. They're the boomer professional class, and there are plenty of them."
