Active Adults Appreciate Their Homes & Lifestyles

Did you know that today, January 24 is “National Compliment Day?” That’s right: there’s a day set aside specifically to say something nice about everyone you come in contact with.

At Windsong, however, the Active Adults who purchase homes and embrace the carefree lifestyles and new friendships forged in each Windsong community, find opportunities each day of the year to offer compliments and accolades.

An Active Adult Literary Tribute

What if the world’s most famous detective were seeking a home in which he could stay up late into the night and wake up very late in the mornings, play his violin, enjoy his pipe, have a home office where he could scatter his papers and chemical equipment, research the latest findings and hang his famous deerstalker hat?
