The
baker’s dozen recap of Active Adult 4 Less featured
homes and communities.
Since
June of last year, I have given you 13 installments
of the Active Adult 4 Less article. It has been,
and will continue to be, an ongoing series of
cost-effective options and choice in communities,
homes and lifestyles to fit the pocketbook of
boomers and active seniors in these challenging
economic times.
For those
of you just joining us, I am going to recap some of
the offerings from those original 13 installments in
order to highlight the great values that I have
discovered. Enjoy!
Active Adult 4 Less Part I discovered an active
adult community of new and resale manufactured homes
on leased lots touting itself as Delaware’s most
affordable 55+ (a nd
maintenance free) community,
Southern Meadow. They are currently offering a
new 1,396 sq. ft. home for quick delivery at just
$139,045 and that certainly qualifies itself as
Active Adult 4 Less.
Single
level ‘ranch style’ condominiums have always been
very appealing for many reasons such as the low
maintenance aspect, affordability as well as no
stairs. That’s why I chose to feature them in
Active Adult 4 Less Part II.
One such
example is the community of
The Villas at University Centre in Rockford,
IL. It’s an intimate 55 and better community and
they are currently offering a
2 bedroom, 2 bath home with sunroom at just $159,850.
There is
also a large and successful franchise called Epcon
Communities, and they
also specialize in single level ranch style
condominium homes. Some of them are 55+ and others
are age-targeted or age-appropriate for boomers,
active seniors and empty nesters. A few examples of
such communities are:
The Villas at Deep River Plantation in
Greensboro, North Carolina,
Pepper’s Ferry Villas in Christiansburg,
Virginia and
Villas of Arden Mills in Washington County, PA.
Active Adult 4 Less Part III focused on
value-priced opportunities within the states of
New Hampshire and
Connecticut. Our Active Adult Realtor®
specialists there can help you find just the home
and lifestyle that you are after and keep it within
your budget too!
In our
Active Adult 4 Less Part IV we went deep!
Deep South, that is!! A few of the great
communities featured in that installment were
The Village at Deaton Creek, an award winning
Georgia community by Del Webb located only 40 miles
north of Atlanta and they currently offer a
 2
bedroom, 2 bath home starting at just $173,000.
We also featured
Plantation Oaks near Flagler Beach in northern
Florida. It is a gated active adult living
community with quality manufactured homes start in
the $70s nestled in a setting of natural open spaces
and wooded preservation areas.
And, hush my puppies!
Sun City Hilton Head in Bluffton, South Carolina
offers a 2 bedroom, 2 bath home (with over 1,240
square feet of living) starting at only $159,990.
The community is situated on 5,200 acres and touts a
Community Recreation Campus that includes a social
hall hosting lectures, workshops, dances, and
concerts plus more than 80 chartered clubs. OK,
don’t overlook the fitness center with a dance and
aerobics studio, plus their indoor and outdoor
swimming pools. Oh, and did I mention golf, tennis,
croquet, horseshoes, bocce, bicycling, softball,
fitness trails, plus fishing and boating on the
20-acre Lake Somerset? There’s even a dog park for
your 4 legged friend!
Wow, this is almost
too much to absorb, so I will pick it up from there
next time as we continue our baker’s dozen
installments of Active Adult 4 Less articles in
review. |
