Each community combines the highest quality construction techniques and materials, a unique, "clustering" of like homes and Universal Design components.

"Our builders, Lifestyle Homebuilders, LLC and Holsinger Homes, LLC, have made a commitment to incorporate universal design into their homes to ensure the whole house suits the homeowner's needs," explains Jim Albertson of Lifestyle Properties, LLC, the exclusive marketer of both communities and a Certified Aging in Place Specialist. "The design of these villas are insightful while recognizing and addressing the long-term merits of universal design and the benefits it provides the homeowner."

This out-of-the-box approach is possible due to design/build services that allow this far-reaching concept to result in homes that are functional, accessible and attractive. Just as importantly, a universally designed home adapts to the changing needs of the homeowner over time.

"Our open floor plans lend themselves extremely well to Universal Design," Albertson continued. "They make it simpler to integrate these concepts into the normal design process. Universal Design is at its best when it's virtually invisible. The biggest compliment that I get from a potential buyer is that they did not even notice the universal design features in a home."

Albertson also noted that the builders' ability to customize each home, allows the homeowner to adjust any standard floor plan and to make choices about what features will best meet their needs and desires. Most typical production homebuilders generally do not allow such customization.
