SWEET Homes for Active Adults

Okay, so we’re a little tongue-in-cheek with this title, considering today, is Gingerbread House Day, but it’s true that Windsong homeowners recognize their homes as sweet opportunities to live their best lives, regardless of the date on the calendar.

Boomers Enjoy Home for the Holidays

Oh, there’s no place like home for the holidays

No matter how much you must get done

When you walk through the front door of your lovely place

For the holidays

You can’t beat home, sweet home!

Boomer Communities Ahead of the Curve

One of the hallmarks of the Boomer generation is researching everything before making a decision. Perhaps this is in part because of the ease of finding things out – the internet literally puts the world at our fingertips! - but the popularity of consumer magazines and newspapers among this segment of the population predates online searches by several decades.

Active Adults Enjoy Home as a Sanctuary

Did you enjoy Fall? Or did you blink and miss it? This crazy Georgia weather is warm one minute, arctic the next.

That’s why being at home can be so comforting throughout the year, especially when you feel your home is a reflection of you - is your sanctuary - and provides the comfort you need to enjoy every single day.

Winter Care Tips for Active Adults’ Courtyard Gardens

Patios, covered porches, and private courtyards are among the most alluring features for Active Adults when they right-size their homes at Windsong, because these spaces provide the perfect opportunities to continue (or discover) gardening on a manageable scale.

Courtyards offer an “outdoor room,” expanding the living space to include gardening and entertaining areas that offer peace and tranquility which include flowers, herbs, vegetables, and whatever else the homeowner has in mind.

An Active Adult’s “Must-Have” List

From the very first homes we built, Windsong recognized the appeal of main level living while incorporating the features we loved about the large homes and neighborhoods in which we raised our families.

With an eye toward both luxury and practicality, each Windsong home features a smaller footprint but spaces that live large, making everyday living enjoyable, and entertaining easier.

Active Adults Favor Treats (Not Tricks)

As daylight grows shorter and chilly nights stretch

And onto the sidewalks, leafless tree shadows are etched,

Active Adults put their courtyard gardens to bed

And snuggle before the fire with books to be read.

Boomers Make A Difference

On the fourth Saturday in October each year, millions of Americans participate in Make A Difference Day, a movement which began in 1990 to improve the communities in which we live, work, and play.

While many volunteer projects require connecting with a non-profit organization or community group, Make A Difference Day can be anything you want to do that will make your community a better place to live.

What Is The Active Adult Lifestyle?

Windsong continuously sets the standard for the Active Adult Lifestyle, but what does that mean? And how do we know what features to add – or keep – as we develop new floor plans and communities?

The answer is – and always has been – we listen to what people want.

Philanthropic Tips for Active Adults

With the holidays just around the corner, October is the perfect time to do a self-check regarding the non-profit organizations to which you lend your financial support, evaluate which best match your personal values, and cleaning house to ensure your dollars are used for the best purpose.
