Just under a mile from Ruisseau, Downtown Woodstock is a vibrant hub for shopping, dining, nightlife, and entertainment. This bustling area hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the Saturday Farm Fresh Market, the lively Summer Concert Series, the culinary delight of Taste of Woodstock, and the festive German-themed WDSTKtoberfest.
In recent years, a curious new sound has started echoing across parks, recreation centers, and community courts. It’s the rhythmic “thwack” of a pickleball hitting a paddle, a sound that signals the rise of one of the fastest-growing sports in America. Particularly popular among active adults, pickleball is more than just a game; it's a social movement, a fitness revolution, and a testament to the idea that age is just a number.
The American Hiking Society celebrates the first day of June each year as “National Trails Day,” inspiring people to hike, clean up a trail, and volunteer for trail-service projects.
Even though June 1 has already passed, hiking trails close to home offer a fantastic opportunity for active adults to get outdoors anytime they like. Best of all, hiking is a wonderful activity for all ages.
At Windsong, we believe home is where the heart is. Spending time outdoors—whether it's gardening, grilling, or relaxing with friends and neighbors—is essential these days. That's why we've designed our homeplans with you in mind, creating outdoor spaces perfect for entertaining or enjoying a quiet coffee in the morning.
Right-sizing has become a popular choice among active adults who recognize that retirement is best enjoyed while they are healthy, active, and able to live in their dream homes. Whether you’ve moved frequently throughout your adult life or are contemplating selling the large family home, the transition to a more suitable living space can be daunting. Experts call this “transitional trauma,” which comes from the challenge of parting with a lifetime of possessions and moving to a home that better fits your current needs and desires.
As an Active Adult, stepping into the lifestyle you've always envisioned is thrilling yet somewhat daunting:
Once you've right-sized your living space, the next question is how to reinvent your life now that you're either working less or fully retired, with less house to manage.
Now's the time to recall those passions you shelved for "when you have time." Were you keen on painting, gardening, writing, singing, or acting?
In spring, specifically April and May, Windsong communities are graced with the opening of local, seasonal farmer's markets. These markets aren't just about buying fresh produce; they're an integral part of our communities. Offering superior tastes, nutritional values, and freshness, they also champion environmental sustainability, bolster the local economy, and encourage community interaction.
In your search for the perfect home, it's important to factor in your current lifestyle while also planning for the future. Importantly, opting for an accessible home doesn't mean compromising on luxury, convenience, or any of your other non-negotiables. Selecting a ranch-style home with amenities that cater to both your immediate and future needs can ensure a safe, independent, and comfortable living space for many years.
Today is the perfect day for a drive, whether you're soaking in the sunshine or trying to forget that the skies have been gray and dreary lately. In your quest for adventure or inspiration, you find yourself exploring a model home in a Windsong community.
