New Active Adult Communities Added to 55places.com

55places.com has added 28 new 55+ and active adult communities across 13 states: Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington.

This month runs unusually wide. Georgia leads with five additions, including Reynolds Lake Oconee, a 12,000-acre lake community with seven championship golf courses and an eighth underway. Nebraska appears for the first time in a while with two Greystar single-family rental communities in the Omaha metro; Toll Brothers broke ground on two Regency townhome communities in Bucks County; and a 12-home townhome enclave in the Hudson Valley sits on the same list as a 1,285-home Esplanade community in Southwest Florida.

Below, new communities are organized by “for sale” and “for rent,” then broken down by state, so you can get to what’s relevant without sorting through the rest.

Let’s take a look at what’s new.

FOR SALE

Colorado

Colorado contributes a single entry, but it is a big one: a 543-home Trilogy community taking shape inside a master-planned development at the foot of the Front Range.

Trilogy Centerra – Loveland, CO

Low $500ks

Trilogy Centerra is a 55+ community coming to Loveland, Colorado, built by Shea Homes under the Trilogy brand, with 543 single-level homes planned inside the Kinston master plan at Centerra. All 11 Freedom Collection floor plans range from roughly 1,430 to 3,090 square feet and offer two to four bedrooms, with loft options.

The Open Wellness + Social Club anchors the amenities with Open Bar (a full-service restaurant) and Open Gym (a fitness facility with strength conditioning and recovery space) alongside a lap pool, pickleball courts, and a fitness lawn. A lifestyle director will run social clubs plus Trilogy’s Explore 360 group trips and Explore 52 regional road trips. Loveland sits 50 miles north of Denver with Rocky Mountain National Park 35 miles west.

Florida

Florida adds three for-sale communities this month, including two Taylor Morrison Esplanade communities in the Naples-Bonita Springs area and a smaller DiVosta community on the Treasure Coast.

Emerson Oaks – Vero Beach, FL

Mid $400ks – Low $600ks

Emerson Oaks is a gated active lifestyle community of 171 single-family homes in Vero Beach, Florida, built by DiVosta. Six floor plans across two collections range from 1,670 to 2,685 square feet with two to four bedrooms, open-concept layouts, and two- or three-car garages, all built to DiVosta’s Build Quality standards with reinforced roofs.

Inside the gates, residents have a pool, a clubhouse, and pickleball courts. The real draw is Vero Beach itself, an Indian River County city with a celebrated arts scene and a stretch of Atlantic coastline that has avoided the overdevelopment found further south. Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital handles local care, and South Beach Park and Round Island Beach Park are close by.

Esplanade at Kingston – Estero, FL

High $400ks – Mid $1Ms

Esplanade at Kingston is a gated community coming to Estero, Florida, in late 2026, built by Taylor Morrison inside the 6,700-acre Kingston master plan with 1,285 single-family homes and condominiums planned. Homes are expected to range from 1,329 to 4,591 square feet with two to six bedrooms.

Two destinations anchor the amenity campus: a Culinary Center for dining, cooking classes, and wine tastings, and a Wellness Center staffed with a spa manager and fitness and nutrition consultants, with indoor and outdoor treatment rooms and a full-service salon through The Spa at Esplanade. Plans also call for a pool and spa with cabanas, a Bahama Bar, indoor pickleball, tennis and bocce courts, a fitness center, and a bark park, with a lifestyle manager running the calendar. Estero sits on US-41 between Fort Myers and Naples, 20 miles from Southwest Florida International Airport.

Esplanade at Rivergrass – Naples, FL

Low $400ks – Low $1Ms

Esplanade at Rivergrass is an active adult community coming to Naples, Florida, in early 2027, built by Taylor Morrison along Oil Well Road with 1,000 single-family homes and condominiums planned at 1,580 to 4,591 square feet. The centerpiece is an 18-hole championship golf course from C.W. Golf Architecture, with tee locations for all skill levels, preserve views, a pro shop, and a snack shack.

Residents will also have a Culinary Center, a Wellness Center and The Spa at Esplanade, a pool and spa with cabanas, a Bahama Bar, tennis, pickleball, and bocce courts, a fitness center, and walking trails. The Oil Well Road setting is quieter than most Naples addresses while keeping Fifth Avenue South, the Gulf beaches, and NCH and Cleveland Clinic facilities within reach.

Georgia

Georgia leads the month with five additions, spanning a 12,000-acre lake community east of Atlanta, two new builds in the Athens area, and a 65-home resale enclave in Gwinnett County.

Magnolia Village – Sugar Hill, GA

Mid $600ks – Low $700ks

Magnolia Village is a gated 55+ community of 65 single-family homes in Sugar Hill, Georgia. Built between 2007 and 2017, the community is resale-only, with homes ranging from 1,761 to 4,685 square feet.

Amenities stay outdoors and intentionally simple: a swimming pool and pickleball courts, with the HOA covering landscaping, common area maintenance, and trash removal. Sugar Hill offers a Kroger and a Publix in town, Northside Hospital Gwinnett in Lawrenceville, The Bowl at Sugar Hill amphitheater downtown, and a 37-mile drive to Atlanta via I-85.

Reynolds Lake Oconee – Greensboro, GA

Mid $500ks – High $5Ms

Reynolds Lake Oconee is a gated active lifestyle community spread across 12,000 acres along Lake Oconee in Greensboro, Georgia, with roughly 2,000 single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums at build-out. The amenity package is among the largest of any residential community in the country: seven championship golf courses with an eighth underway, five of them ranked in Georgia’s top 15, plus The Kingdom golf instruction and club-fitting facility.

Five full-service marinas open up the 19,000-acre lake, the 100-acre Sandy Creek Sporting Grounds adds clay shooting and archery, and residents also have indoor and outdoor pools, a water park, tennis and pickleball courts, a full-service spa, a beach, and 21 miles of trails. Eleven restaurants and the Ritz-Carlton Reynolds, Lake Oconee sit on the property, and a lifestyle director runs more than 40 resident clubs. Greensboro is about 75 miles east of Atlanta.

Ryland Park – Athens, GA

High $300ks – High $400ks

Ryland Park is a 55+ community of 182 new single-family homes along Danielsville Road in Athens, Georgia, built by Heritage Group Homes. Six floor plans reach up to 2,153 square feet with three bedrooms and a two-car garage, and standard features include granite countertops, Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, 36-inch shaker cabinets, nine-foot ceilings, and primary suites with quartz countertops and large walk-in closets. Homes are built in three to five months from contract signing.

Residents have a clubhouse, an outdoor pool, pickleball courts, a picnic area, and walking and biking trails, with HOA fees covering lawn care. Athens brings the University of Georgia, a well-regarded music and restaurant scene, and two hospital systems, all at a price point that stays reasonable for the area.

Southsong – Hampton, GA

High $300ks – High $400ks

Southsong is a gated 55+ community of 50 new single-family homes in Hampton, Georgia, built by Valor Communities. Five Encore Level 2 Trim Series plans range from 2,004 to 2,586 square feet with three to five bedrooms and a two-car garage. Accessibility comes standard, not as an upgrade. Every plan places the primary bedroom on the main floor and includes stepless entry at the front, back, and garage, wider three-foot or double bedroom doors on select plans, levered door handles, and a zero-entry tile shower in the primary suite.

Shared amenities include a clubhouse, pickleball courts, a dog park, a fire pit gathering area, a recreational lawn, and a community garden. Hampton sits 30 miles south of Atlanta along I-75, with Piedmont Henry Hospital, Tanger Outlets in Locust Grove, and Atlanta Motor Speedway nearby.

Trove – Watkinsville, GA

Mid $500ks – High $600ks

Trove is a cottage home community of 56 homes set across 35 acres in Watkinsville, Georgia, built by Dream Finders Homes. Three plans range from 2,811 to 3,304 square feet and include four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Each has an open-concept kitchen with a large island, a first-floor primary suite, a flex room, a mud room, and a covered front porch, plus a second-floor flex room.

The setting does the work here rather than a clubhouse: preserved countryside views, open landscapes, covered porches and private patios, a dog park, and walking and biking trails. Watkinsville is the Oconee County seat with a walkable Main Street, and Downtown Athens is roughly five miles north for live music, the Georgia Museum of Art, and Sanford Stadium.

Maryland

Maryland returns with a 28-townhome community in Carroll County, roughly midway between Baltimore and Washington, D.C.

Doroly Gardens – Sykesville, MD

Low $700ks

Doroly Gardens is a 55+ community of 28 new townhomes in Sykesville, Maryland, built by Patton Homes. Two floor plans offer 2,513 and 2,649 square feet with three bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, and a two- or three-car garage, delivering more space and a fuller bathroom configuration than most townhomes at this size.

The HOA takes on an unusually broad maintenance load, covering lawn care, trash and recycling, street lights, and snow removal from the street, driveway, and sidewalks. Sykesville sits 25 miles west of Baltimore with a Main Street Historic District along the Patapsco River that ranks among the better-preserved small-town downtowns in the corridor, and Patapsco Valley State Park adds hiking and cycling right at the community’s edge.

New Jersey

New Jersey adds three communities at three very different price points, from an 85-unit resale condo building in Middlesex County to a Toll Brothers community in the horse country of Somerset County.

Carriages at Orchard Glen – Elk Township, NJ

Mid $400ks – High $500ks

Carriages at Orchard Glen is a 55+ community of 250 homes off Ewan-Gloucester Road in Elk Township, New Jersey, built by D.R. Horton. Buyers choose between the two-story Taylor townhome at 2,114 square feet and four single-story ranch plans running 1,497 to 1,865 square feet.

A 6,084-square-foot clubhouse includes gathering spaces, a kitchen, a game room, and a fitness center, plus pickleball courts, a swimming pool, an expansive deck, and an outdoor fire pit. The HOA handles lawn mowing and snow removal. A 30-year tax PILOT program fixes a payment in place of standard property taxes for three decades. Route 55 is one mile away, and Inspira Medical Center Mullica Hill and the Glassboro retail corridor are both about four miles out.

Parkview Crossings at Woodbridge – Woodbridge, NJ

High $300ks – Low $400ks

Parkview Crossings at Woodbridge is a 55+ condo community of 85 resale homes in a single building in Woodbridge, New Jersey. Homes are roughly 1,400 to 1,600 square feet and include two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a private balcony, an in-unit washer and dryer, elevator access between floors, and assigned parking.

The building offers a fitness center, billiards room, lounge, and multipurpose room for cards and resident gatherings. Woodbridge Township is close to a ShopRite, downtown shops and restaurants, Merrill Park, and Colonia Country Club, with New York City 18 miles away and Newark Liberty International Airport about 12 miles away.

Peapack Crossing – Peapack-Gladstone, NJ

Mid $1Ms – High $1Ms

Peapack Crossing is an active lifestyle community of 66 new Toll Brothers homes on private, wooded home sites in the borough of Peapack-Gladstone, New Jersey. The Carriages Collection is open for sale with three farmhouse-style townhome designs from 3,045 to 3,551-plus square feet, walk-out basements standard, and first-floor primary suites on the Aveton and Kentallen.

The Signature Collection of single-family homes is anticipated later in 2026. Walking and biking trails wind through the grounds, and the setting is the selling point. Natirar, a 500-acre county park with preserved farmland and the 1912 Natirar Mansion, borders the area, and Hamilton Farm Golf Club is in neighboring Gladstone. The Far Hills NJ Transit station is a short drive, and New York City is roughly 45 miles east.

New York

New York contributes a 12-home townhome enclave in Orange County, one of the smallest communities to join the site this month.

Scotchtown Oaks – Goshen, NY

Mid $500ks – High $500ks

Scotchtown Oaks is a 55+ community of 12 new attached townhomes in Goshen, New York, built by Gagliardi Construction. Interior units offer 1,671 square feet and end units offer 1,727 square feet, both with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bath in a compact footprint well suited to downsizing from a larger Hudson Valley house.

A community gazebo is the shared amenity, and the HOA covers landscaping and snow removal, which counts for a lot through an Orange County winter. Goshen is the county seat, with a Victorian downtown along Main Street and deep roots in American harness racing, about 60 miles northwest of Midtown Manhattan, with Stewart International Airport 16 miles northeast.

North Carolina

North Carolina adds four, including a 588-home Del Webb community coming to the Piedmont Triad and two small neighborhoods in the Charlotte area.

Cottages at Marvin Gardens – Marvin, NC

Mid $800ks

Cottages at Marvin Gardens is a 55+ community of 25 single-family homes in Marvin, North Carolina, just south of Charlotte, built by Saussy Burbank between 2021 and 2023. Ranch and one-and-a-half-story plans carry brick or stone fronts, tall roof pitches, and cedar accents, with eight-foot doors, 10-foot ceilings, and wider-than-standard doorways inside. Every plan puts the owner’s suite on the main floor with a curbless entry shower, a built-in shower seat, and wall framing that can support grab bars later.

Amenities stay simple, with a gathering area and sidewalks along both sides of the street beneath mature trees, and the HOA covers lawn maintenance. A Publix is within walking distance, and the Waverly and Blakeney districts cover dining and retail.

Courtyards on New Hope – Gastonia, NC

Low $500ks – High $500ks

Courtyards on New Hope is a 55+ community of 30 single-level homes in Gastonia, North Carolina, built by NewStyle Communities and now selling as resales. Like other NewStyle Courtyards communities, the floor plans center on private outdoor courtyards that extend the living area into a sheltered personal space, and the HOA handles exterior maintenance and landscaping.

At 30 homes, the scale is small enough that neighbors know each other. Gastonia sits 25 miles west of Charlotte along I-85 with real downtown reinvestment underway, CaroMont Regional Medical Center in town, and Crowders Mountain State Park about 10 miles west.

Del Webb Winston Preserve – Winston-Salem, NC

Starting at Low $300ks

Del Webb Winston Preserve is a 55+ community of 588 single-family ranch homes coming to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Ten floor plans all feature open-concept layouts with gathering rooms, flexible spaces that work as a home office or craft room, and primary suites with spa-inspired bathrooms, with optional sunrooms, lofts, and covered patios on select plans.

An 18,000-square-foot clubhouse will serve as the hub, holding an indoor pool, a fitness center, and aerobics space, with an outdoor pool, pickleball and bocce courts, gardening plots, a pet park, and walking trails outside. The indoor pool is worth noting, since it gives residents a year-round option many Del Webb communities in the Carolinas do not have.

East Lake – Leland, NC

High $300ks – Low $500ks

East Lake is an active lifestyle community in Leland, North Carolina, just across the Cape Fear River from Wilmington, with 25 single-family homes planned by New Leaf Builders. Homes range from 1,458 to 2,854 square feet, with three to four bedrooms and an attached side-entry garage; some designs also offer a first-floor primary suite, a home office, and an upstairs loft. Standard features include quartz countertops, luxury vinyl plank flooring, a gas tankless water heater, yard irrigation, six-foot privacy fencing, a walk-in pantry, and a covered porch.

Outdoor amenities include a pool, pickleball courts, a pet park, a playground for visiting grandchildren, and parks and green space linked by walking and biking trails. Downtown Wilmington and its Riverwalk are about seven miles out, and golfers have Cape Fear National at Brunswick Forest nearby.

Horton’s America’s Smart Home package comes standard.

Residents have a zero-entry swimming pool, pickleball courts, a clubhouse, a covered pavilion, a dog park, and walking areas, with parks, trails, and village-style retail planned as the master plan develops. Ridgeland sits where I-95 meets US-278, which makes it one of the better-placed addresses in the Lowcountry. Bluffton is 20 miles east, Hilton Head Island 25 miles east, and Savannah about 25 miles south.

Texas

Texas contributes a gated 159-home community in Collin County, about 30 miles northeast of downtown Dallas.

Ladera Wylie – Wylie, TX

High $500ks – Mid $600ks

Ladera Wylie is a gated 55+ community of 159 single-family homes in Wylie, Texas, built by Ladera Living. Homes range from 1,322 to 2,905 square feet, with two to three bedrooms and an attached two- or three-car garage; most plans are single-story, so there are no stairs to manage day-to-day.

The HUB serves as the clubhouse, holding a fitness studio for group classes, a lounge, a multipurpose room, and a wellness suite for massage and facial treatments, with lighted pickleball courts, a pool and spa, an outdoor kitchen, walking trails, and scenic ponds outside. The HOA covers lawn maintenance, and a resident social committee runs the events calendar. Buyers can select finishes at the on-site design studio or take a move-in ready home, and Downtown Dallas is a 30-minute drive.

FOR RENT

Florida

Florida adds a 55+ apartment community in North Naples, two miles from the Gulf.

Sandalwood Village – Naples, FL

$2,000s – $3,200s / mo

The clubhouse offers more than most rental communities, with a day spa, a movie theater, an arts and crafts room, a dining room, and a terrace, plus a swimming pool and fitness center. The Vanderbilt Beach corridor is one of Collier County’s more desirable addresses, putting Vanderbilt Beach two miles away, Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park and Clam Pass Beach Park close behind, and Mercato’s open-air dining and shopping a short drive out.

Nebraska

Nebraska makes its first appearance on this month’s list with two Greystar single-family rental communities in the Omaha metro, one in Elkhorn and one in Gretna.

The Collection at Elkhorn – Elkhorn, NE

$1,900s – $3,300s / mo

Every home includes stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, wood-style floors, an in-unit washer and dryer, high-speed internet, and 10-foot ceilings, with private decks on select homes and optional garage parking.

An outdoor pool and patio serve as shared amenities, so the appeal is the square footage and yard of single-family living without the maintenance obligations of ownership. Elkhorn sits 15 miles west of Downtown Omaha and has kept its small-town identity, with Village Pointe Shopping Center, CHI Health Lakeside, and Zorinsky and Flanagan Lake Parks nearby.

The Collection at Gretna Landing – Gretna, NE

Shared amenities go further than at the Elkhorn community, with a pool, a 24-hour fitness center, a yoga studio, coworking spaces, a game room, a coffee bar, and a bark park, plus an off-site clubhouse for gatherings. Gretna is a fast-growing Sarpy County city with easy access to Highway 370 and I-80, Chalco Hills Recreation Area 10 miles north, and Downtown Omaha 20 to 25 miles out.

Portal – Eugene, OR

$1,500s – $3,500s / mo

Portal is a 55+ apartment community of 130 homes in the River District of Eugene, Oregon.
