Flexibility

Next, the Savannah plan has 3 bedrooms that give you the right amount of space for the active adult lifestyle. The owner’s suite in the Savannah plan has tray ceilings, a luxury bathroom, and walk-in closet. Plus, it also offers convenient extras like a sitting room and door to the covered patio.

And even then, you still have an extra bedroom. Create the work-from-home office of your dreams! 

Convenience

Possibly the most comfortable 55 plus designs are those created with convenient age-in-place features. First, the Savannah plan offers an owner’s suite bathroom with a stepless, walk-in shower.

Active adult communities are typically designed with ranch-style floor plans that emphasize one-level living. This style home is convenient for entertaining, cleaning, living, and watching grandchildren (if you have them). And, homeowners will surely be comfortable aging in place, thanks to the lack of stairs to access main living spaces in most active adult homes. 

Ranch-style floor plans in our Creekwood homes focus on one-level living, but they offer even more. This active adult community in Metro Atlanta features open and spacious new construction homes with accessible design details. For example, some details include zero-entry showers, walk-up storage, extra bedrooms, and private areas like sunrooms for leisure time!

Lock and Leave, Low Maintenance 

Another emphasis on livability and convenience that comes with 55 plus communities is the low-maintenance lifestyle! Most active adult communities provide exterior lawn maintenance, so homeowners can spend more time doing the things they want to.
