Right-Sizing the Happy Option for Active Adults

Windsong has been providing right-sizing solutions for Active Adults for 18 years, but our award-winning home designs and communities mean little unless the people who choose to live in them find them comfortable and enjoyable.

Since 2003, our teams have listened to what people want in their next-best home, a home that serves as a dream home after the family home has served its purpose. So, we offer livable homes that meet the needs of homeowners now and in the future, in communities that provide opportunities to relax, pursue interests, stay healthy, and interact and form friendships with people who share similar life-stage experiences.

Happiness Among Active Adults is Awe-some!

As we welcome Fall, we celebrate the departure from the scorching days of Summer and anticipate the FUN of festivals, “leaf peeping” drives through the mountains, and pumpkin-spice everything; the return of fuzzy sweaters and gatherings around the fire pit; chili, football, and curling up early with a good book.

In other words, we’re entering the season of awesome!

Boomers Take Advantage of Learning New Skills

Have you ever wanted to learn to speak Italian? Paint with oils or watercolors? Play piano? Play Bridge? Become a Master Gardener? How about meditation, yoga, tai-chi, or salsa dancing?

For decades, as we’ve lived and worked toward the day when we’d have time to write the memoir or plant vegetables or travel… and now we have the time! And with a new home in a carefree community, there are no more excuses: it’s time to pursue our interests and Learn Something!

Key to Boomers’ Health & Happiness Lies in Curiosity

Children are born curious; it’s how they learn about the world. But studies show that adulthood, parenting and job responsibilities, anxiety, and more, strain our resources, and we often find we “don’t have time” for curiosity.

In his 2010 book, Curious, author, and researcher at The Well-Being Lab, Todd Kashdan, asked, “What is essential to creating a fulfilling life?” Extensive research into this question revealed that Being Curious is an essential element to attaining what we seek: health (cognitive and physical), life satisfaction, and happiness.

Fall FUN for Active Adults

Maybe you’ve heard about “embracing your inner child,” but you aren’t sure what that is or how to go about it.

This month, we’re all about your inner child – having fun, staying curious, dreaming big, learning something new, finding the beauty in every day, and practicing kindness.

Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it?

Oh, The Place You Will Live...

Active Adults and Wellness Awareness

August is National Wellness Month, during which individuals reflect on and balance their total wellness for a healthier, more satisfying life.

“Wellness” goes beyond staying active and eating well. According to the National Wellness Institute, there are Six Dimensions of Wellness on which we need to focus to achieve a happy, healthy lifestyle.

Active Adults Personalize Homes To Suit Their Lifestyle

When searching for a home, savvy buyers do their research to ensure they work with a reputable builder who uses quality products and employs a team of experts from construction to sales to closing and warranty.

After choosing a floor plan and home site, the most exciting (and perhaps nerve-wracking) step is meeting with the design professional to personalize your home.
