Imagine a life of convenience paired with a home in a beautiful neighborhood equipped with a community pool, fitness center, pickleball court, and more. That’s the life you could live at one of our active adult communities at Eastwood Homes. These unique neighborhoods have an age restriction of 55+, ensuring that you’re surrounded by other adults with similar lifestyles, wants, and needs. Learn how our builders design these homes specifically with active adults in mind.
Our Architectural Design Manager, Jason Cochran, says that he intends to, “build homes to fit around people’s lifestyles.” What does this look like in practice? A home located in a 55+ community may have more rooms dedicated to entertaining friends and family or an office for working remotely. They may be built on just one floor to ensure easy mobility or designed with flex rooms on floor two to give the grandkids space to play or do homework. They may include intentionally placed features such as a butler’s pantry, where the kids can make breakfast while keeping the mess out of sight. “I build dwellings where people can have first birthdays, where people can host Thanksgivings and have Christmas memories,” Jason tells us.
Lake Margaret at The Highlands is a picturesque, 55+ community nestled within the sought-after Highlands golf course neighborhood in Chesterfield, VA.

Perfectly positioned between Richmond and Petersburg, Lake Margaret offers easy access to nearby restaurants, shopping centers, and entertainment venues.

“The floor plan grows with them,” said Jason during our conversation. This is the greatest part of our 55+ community floor plans – secondary bedrooms upstairs that may have once been used as your older child’s bedroom can easily transition into a playroom or homework room for your grandkids. Eastwood’s homes are Built With Care to grow seamlessly with your family’s wants and needs. Our active adult community, The Enclave at Hidden Lake, is located in the Raleigh area and is now selling our popular Freedom collection floorplans. Our community, Heritage, in the Charlotte market, will be selling out of its new phase soon. Both communities have extensive amenities like pools, clubhouses, gathering spaces, and more. If you are ready to start your search for your next home in a fun and popular 55+ community, contact our team to schedule your appointment!
