Creekwood is Paran Homes’ newest community of age-qualified homes. Now selling in Powder Springs, these thoughtfully designed houses are built for a comfortable and convenient lifestyle. The open-concept ranch-style floor plans are ideal for homeowners 55+ years of age looking to settle into a neighborhood for the next chapter of their lives.

When you live here, you don’t have to worry about climbing stairs to access the bedrooms, bedrooms, and laundry room spaces. That guaranteed accessibility brings peace of mind and sets Creekwood apart from similar neighborhoods. The floor plans in this community offer three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and up to 1805 Sqft of living space. The front of the home has a beautiful green lawn with a large paved walkway and garage. There’s room to garden in the interior, exterior, and sides for those who enjoy curating curb appeal and making their home stand out with seasonal blooms.

The expansive kitchen has double sinks, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and modern white cabinets. The dark hardwood floors in the common areas (including the screened sunroom) make cleaning a breeze and reduce unwanted odors and stains. Homeowners can use the spacious island to seat several people for meals, or the kitchen nook with additional seating and natural lighting, and the open-concept design allows the living and dining rooms to flow together seamlessly.

The spacious and elegant bedrooms have tray ceilings, carpeted floors, and multiple windows, creating the perfect blend of style and convenience. A designated sitting area allows homeowners to unwind, enjoy a good book, or engage in other relaxing activities. The primary bedroom connects to an en-suite bathroom with carefully designed fixtures and features such as a walk-in shower, seat, non-slip flooring, and a raised toilet. The bathroom is aesthetically pleasing and highly practical, simultaneously promoting independence and safety.

The community amenities and features are an excellent addition to the neighborhood and can increase the property value of your new home investment. Homebuyers can rest assured that safety is Paran Homes’ priority both inside the home and throughout the property with the installed gate at the front of the neighborhood. The gate reduces crime and dissuades unlicensed solicitors from entering the community.

There is also a clubhouse for residents and their guests. The surrounding community is a fantastic area with a lot to do. Creekwood is down the street from the Silver Comet Trail and a short drive to Sweetwater Creek State Park, so staying active with your children, grandchildren, and pets is easy.

For those who love eating out and shopping, the neighborhood is just a few minutes from downtown Powder Springs. For various Mexican and soul food cuisines, you can enjoy nearby eateries, Carzell’s Kitchen, Don Diego, and La Parilla.

As you approach retirement, it’s normal for your needs and lifestyle to change. Previously, your career might have taken much of your time, or your children were a major focus. As you settle into this next chapter of life, you might be thinking about potential housing options and which community would be the best fit. 

Paran Homes has two incredible 55+ communities–-Creekwood in Powder Springs and Seaboard Junction in Loganville–-that could be the perfect fit for you. Our neighborhoods are for active individuals who want the comfort and convenience of living in a serene and charming community. 

The Benefits of Living in an Over 55+ Community 

A 55+ community is an active adult-living neighborhood with at least one resident living on each property over the age of 55. These communities are designed to accommodate older residents, so affordability, amenities, and location are massive selling points. 

Typically, these communities offer lower monthly mortgage payments, and the homes cost less than similar houses in the same location. Paran Homes has priced Creekwood and Seaboard Junction starting in the $300s for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, ranch-style home with a private backyard. This is a steal in today’s competitive housing market!

Homes in 55+ communities offer smaller-sized homes, which is a great way to downsize in this next phase of your life. It might have been easier to store decades’ worth of items you might not have needed or wanted after a few years, but now, you will have the freedom to live the way you want with the things that mean the most to you. Nevertheless, with 3-bedroom homes as our standard, you’ll still have more than enough space for family/grandkids and guests when they visit throughout the year. 

All of our homes are one-story, ranch-style properties, so as you age, you don’t have to worry about walking up and down the stairs every day just to shower or grab a pair of shoes. This floor plan will prevent unnecessary accidents or medical emergencies like a bad fall that could severely affect your activity levels and ability to move around. 

Living in a Paran Homes 55+ community means your home and possessions are safe inside our gated neighborhoods. The security gates deter non-residents from driving inside the community to commit crimes like auto theft or vandalism. Seaboard Junction in Loganville is considered a safe community by Crimegrade and received an A+ rating: “Loganville is in the 98th percentile for safety, meaning 2% of cities are safer, and 98% of cities are more dangerous.” 

One of the best perks of living in 55+ communities is that they provide more amenities than most traditional neighborhoods and are located in great towns with plenty of things to do. A cabana-style clubhouse, community garden, pool, and dog park are all at Seaboard Junction, making it easy to entertain and socialize with family and neighbors. Creekwood has a clubhouse and was strategically built near desirable community features like being down the street from the Silver Comet Trail, minutes from downtown Powder Springs, and a short drive to Sweetwater Creek State Park. This way, you can get to your favorite places within minutes of your front door! 

55+ communities offer residents a sense of belonging and community. Now that your children may have moved out of your home and you are enjoying retirement, it’s important to stay connected with the people you love and still have the opportunity to meet neighbors of similar ages. You can do so in the peaceful and safe neighborhoods of Creekwood or Seaboard Junction.

AARP reports that 90% of adults over age 65 want to remain in their own homes as they grow older. That makes sense because they’ve spent their entire lives working jobs, raising families, forming friendships, and making decisions for themselves. That feeling of control over oneself is vital to living a quality happy life. 

Medical and lifestyle advances mean that the average lifespan has increased and the number of people who are age 65 and older continues to grow. With this understanding, there’s a lot of talk about “aging in place.” People want to enjoy life and keep what they value on their own terms. They want to stay in their own homes, in their own community, surrounded by family and friends that they know. 

At Paran Homes, we understand and embrace this thinking! Our builders applied this concept when creating Seaboard Junction in Loganville. This Active Adult 55+ community is designed with that independent spirit in mind. Our 3 bedroom, 2 bath homes are sophisticated and stylish with practical, seamless flow between kitchen, dining room, and family room. Starting in the $300s, aging in place is not only comfortable, it’s economically wise!

At Seaboard Junction, you’ll have the convenience of a master on main – separate from secondary bedrooms – for privacy and space from visiting family or caretakers. This sophisticated and stylish open floor plan flows from the great room to the gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous soft-close cabinets. The master suite is large with walk-in closets, the master bath features a garden tub and a separate, easy step-in shower. Homes have a lovely patio or an optional screened back porch. Step out into the community and be greeted by vast green lawns and walking trails. Dig your hands in the soil at the community garden, take a dip in the pool, or just relax with a book in the cabana.

Beyond the gates, is the best that Gwinnett County has to offer:

• Bay Creek, Vines, and Grayson Park – along with signature trails, historical markers,  environmental classes, and more!
• Groovin’ On The Green –  Bring your picnic basket and a blanket or chair for this monthly concert on the Loganville town green.
• Downtown Festivals – Loganville’s town square is the place to be for festivals throughout the year. Join your neighbors for the 4th of July celebration with fireworks, Autumn Fest with arts and crafts, food, and local vendors, as well as the Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting.
• Sparky’s Machines – This place is every classic car lover’s dream. Stroll along the hot rods, muscle cars, and beautifully restored classics for a trip down memory lane.

Before we choose a homesite on which to build, we consider the people who will potentially live there. While we take pride in the house that Paran Homes is building, we understand that it will be HOME for someone else. With this in mind, we seek out convenience – with access to major highways and shopping, as well as quality of life – with highly rated schools, activities, and entertainment.

Once we’ve identified the best location in which to build, it’s time to negotiate! Our team uses highly-specialized, data-driven tools to arrange the best price, which enables us to pass those savings on to our home buyers. This method makes it possible for us to build the best homes in the most ideal locations. It’s a winning formula!

Now that it’s time to build, we consider the people for whom we are building. What do they need and want in their new home? Are they a young couple just starting their family? Are they mid-career, possibly with teenagers, and they want to expand their activities? Maybe they’re newly retired and are looking for ease and comfort in their life. Our design team considers all of these possibilities when creating a new Paran Homes community.

Paran Homes was founded on our intent to build with superior quality that will deliver a home our customers will love for years to come. Our formula to Identify, Acquire, and Design has worked for our company – and for our home buyers – since 2010. We believe that we have the perfect metro Atlanta home for you!

No matter which adventure you choose, trust that you are making memories for your kids and grandkids that are priceless and will stay with them forever. When you return to the comfort of your Paran Homes house, curl up in the great room and talk about things you’ve seen and done and make a plan for tomorrow’s escapades.
