Imagine a life of convenience paired with a home in a beautiful neighborhood equipped with a community pool, fitness center, pickleball court, and more. That’s the life you could live at one of our active adult communities at Eastwood Homes. These unique neighborhoods have an age restriction of 55+, ensuring that you’re surrounded by other adults with similar lifestyles, wants, and needs. Learn how our builders design these homes specifically with active adults in mind.
Our Architectural Design Manager, Jason Cochran, says that he intends to, “build homes to fit around people’s lifestyles.” What does this look like in practice? A home located in a 55+ community may have more rooms dedicated to entertaining friends and family or an office for working remotely. They may be built on just one floor to ensure easy mobility or designed with flex rooms on floor two to give the grandkids space to play or do homework. They may include intentionally placed features such as a butler’s pantry, where the kids can make breakfast while keeping the mess out of sight. “I build dwellings where people can have first birthdays, where people can host Thanksgivings and have Christmas memories,” Jason tells us.
To cater to these unique preferences of our 55+ residents, Eastwood Homes offers a diverse range of floor plans to choose from. With a total of 155 plans organized into 15 collections, one notable collection is the Freedom Collection, which is intended for our active adult communities. Within the Freedom Collection, there are two tiers to best suit the different lifestyles of our homebuyers.
The first tier focuses on individuals who still desire a two-level living space. This group may include those with young grandchildren and a need for flexible, expandable spaces. The plans in this collection feature 40-foot widths, 2-car garages, and three bedrooms on the main floor, with the option for a second floor. Primary bedrooms are conveniently located on the main floor, and there's flexibility to turn secondary bedrooms into secondary suites. Notably, the Fenwick, Mayfair, and Wescott plans offer a second-floor expansion of 700 square feet, providing two additional bedrooms and a bathroom. This tier, with many options for an at-home office and plenty of bedrooms, could be well-suited for adults who are still working or may still have older children at home.
Our second tier of the Freedom Collection is designed for retirees who prefer a single-level living arrangement. The emphasis here is on entertaining, with open and spacious layouts. Primary suites and laundry spaces are intelligently connected, offering convenience while keeping the clutter hidden from guests. Plans like the Edgefield feature separate bedroom suites, placing the primary and secondary bedrooms on opposite sides of the house — a perfect setup for hosting guests. The house layout is open and offers visibility, which allows the party to easily overflow into the outdoor space at the rear of the house. Flex rooms can serve various purposes, from hosting guests to providing spaces for grandchildren to do homework or watch TV.
“The floor plan grows with them,” said Jason during our conversation. This is the greatest part of our 55+ community floor plans – secondary bedrooms upstairs that may have once been used as your older child’s bedroom can easily transition into a playroom or homework room for your grandkids. Eastwood’s homes are Built With Care to grow seamlessly with your family’s wants and needs. Our active adult community, The Enclave at Hidden Lake, is located in the Raleigh area and is now selling our popular Freedom collection floorplans. Our community, Heritage, in the Charlotte market, will be selling out of its new phase soon. Both communities have extensive amenities like pools, clubhouses, gathering spaces, and more.
