People’s goals, dreams, and priorities often change as they mature. In early adulthood there’s the harried scurry involving higher education, starting careers, getting married, and having children. Early middle age brings on that unenviable tension of a life lived between two generations: launching children into the adult world and caring for parents.
The approach of one’s mature years, however, brings many benefits, not the least of which is a new freedom that is a pleasant surprise to many. Not only are Americans living longer than they ever have, but they are also active longer than ever before (presently, the fastest-growing age group in the U.S. is the population 85 and older).
As people graduate into the 55+ demographic, their focus shifts from the urgent to the significant, making longstanding friendships and family bonds become more essential to their daily lives. The Village at Maplewood is designed specifically to make these years peaceful and pleasant, allowing residents the luxury of enjoying the things that matter to them most.
All the perks, none of the headaches
Rome’s leading builder Jeff Brooks, and the master landscape designer Ed Watters, combined their considerable experience and talents to create The Village at Maplewood, an upscale gated community situated on 38 lovely acres. There are beautiful cottages, stylish condominiums, and garden homes. (More to come on the garden homes! Keep reading!)
Situated only a mile and a half from historic downtown Rome, Georgia, The Village provides easy access to shopping, restaurants, theaters, coffee shops, as well as public parks where outdoor festivals, fairs, and concerts are held. And the amenities at The Village are many: a beautifully appointed clubhouse, a large indoor swimming pool, a fitness center, a library, a craft room, tennis courts, and walking trails.
The Village offers everything the residents could want without troubling them with the things they moved there to escape, tasks like mowing the lawn, raking the leaves, watering the garden, and trimming the hedges. All the manicured grounds at The Village are meticulously maintained by professional groundskeepers. Limited exterior maintenance is taken care of as well. And because it’s a gated community, residents can enjoy security and peace of mind when they leave home; they can just lock up and go.
