The History of Trilogy
As one of the largest private homebuilders in the nation, Shea Homes has built more than 100,000 homes since its founding in 1968. The developer launched Trilogy by Shea Homes in 1999 to design a selection of 55+ and active lifestyle communities that offer resort-style living to active adult homebuyers. Trilogy has since become a leading 55+ active adult community brand with 17 communities across Arizona, California, Florida, North Carolina, Nevada, Virginia, and Washington.
Active adult homebuyers across the nation trust the Trilogy name to deliver resort-style communities with world-class amenities and luxurious homes. Trilogy has been awarded America’s Most Trusted Active Adult Builder by Lifestory Research for six consecutive years from 2013 to 2018. Trilogy has also earned the highest rankings in active adult homebuyer customer satisfaction from a J.D. Power and Associates study.
According to Shea Homes, Trilogy communities provide residents with an enriched lifestyle through opportunities to explore new interests, achieve wellness, and connect to a vibrant social life. Shea Homes explains, “We believe that life is a celebration, so we build Trilogy 55+ and resort communities so you can do the things you love, try the things you’re curious about, and live every day to its fullest.”
Trilogy’s Resort-Style Amenities
Every Trilogy community offers a similar variety of resort-style amenities and social activities, but each community also includes unique features. Some of the impressive standard amenities include walking, hiking, and biking trails, sports courts, tennis and pickleball courts, resort-style indoor and outdoor pools, and state-of-the-art fitness centers.
Popular features at many Trilogy communities are the sports lounges, also called man caves. The sports lounges serve as relaxing sports escapes where residents (men and women!) can gather to watch games on flat-screen TVs and play billiards, darts, shuffleboard, and poker.
Trilogy communities feature luxurious clubhouses that serve as the center of community activity and the hub for amenities, social gatherings, and special events. The 57,000-square-foot Magnolia House at Trilogy Orlando in Florida represents a top-of-the-line offering that even includes its own restaurants.
At Trilogy at Lake Frederick in Virginia, the lakeside Shenandoah Club complex includes two buildings for a total of 36,000 square feet of recreation and amenity space. By designing such grand clubhouses, Trilogy aims to unite neighbors into a community that can enjoy social gatherings and lifestyle clubs.
Several Trilogy communities include their own golf courses such as the 18-hole Tom-Lehman designed course at Trilogy at Encanterra in Arizona and the 30 total holes at Trilogy at Monarch Dunes in California.
Some Trilogy communities without golf courses offer the next best thing: full-scale golf simulators. Residents can find these at Trilogy at The Polo Club in California, Trilogy at Tehaleh in Washington, Trilogy Orlando in Florida, and Trilogy at Lake Frederick in Virginia. A golf simulator not only allows golfers to practice their swing and stance, but players receive real-time analysis of their form, technique, and ball flight data.
Trilogy Lifestyle
Residents of Trilogy communities have every opportunity to live an active physical and social life. Trilogy homeowners have exclusive access to a social networking platform called MyTrilogyLife.com. Residents can log on to see upcoming community events and things to do. A Daily Digest shares a rundown of all the activities, classes, events, and news important for that day.
Trilogy residents can even connect to the entire network of Trilogy homebuyers, extending the potential for friendships across the nation. The developer created a cross-community travel program called Explore 360 that plans luxurious vacations coordinated by a national lifestyle director. One recent excursion to Italy sold out in just 18 hours.
Other past popular destinations have included trips to national parks, the Galapagos, and a European cruise. Club Connect is an integrated, multi-community platform that allows residents to share video content. This includes culinary classes, education seminars, club meetings, and Explore 360 experiences.
All of the lifestyle activities, social clubs, and events at Trilogy communities are planned and developed by hospitality-trained staff. Residents always have access to a well-trained team to find new classes, explore new hobbies, and connect with like-minded neighbors.
