A common design elements through all eight Cottages includes a bright open floor plan, cathedral ceilings in the family room and master bedroom, and aging in place features.
The homes were planned with a variety of traditional, muted colors that blend together to create a community feel, enhanced with native planting landscaping, private hardscape patios for each Cottage and a common area with walking paths and accent lighting Above all the cottage development is designed to bring about care-free living within an active community and many amenities. A community marketplace and a full functioning fitness and community center highlight a few of the many attractions central to the cottages.
