Active adult communities are transforming the idea of senior living and are becoming more and more popular in Metro Atlanta.

Designed to Age in Place 

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.
