You can always assign the property to your children, and keep what is called a life estate for yourself, meaning that you have possession of the property for the remainder of your life. You'll want to hire an attorney to prepare such a deed for you and discuss the pros/cons of the arrangement, as well as potential gift and estate tax consequences, if any.
