Serenity

Serenity sits in Woodstock, Georgia, as an active adult community where folks over 55 can enjoy both quiet spaces and busy, friendly gatherings, and the homes you'll find here have one to four bedrooms and from one and a half to four bathrooms, with floor plans from 1,900 up to over 3,200 square feet, and although some homes are still to be built, they're designed with modern comforts like central air, zoned cooling, insulated windows, ceiling fans, a laundry room right on the main floor, and kitchens with stone counters, breakfast bars, island workspaces, a pantry, and a view into the family room, plus appliances like a gas range, microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. The houses, crafted by Treetop Residential, use high-quality materials and have a Craftsman or European look, while you won't share any walls with neighbors, and you'll have your own private yard with brick and wood fencing, private front and rear entries, an easy-to-maintain composition roof, and even your own deck or covered porch to sit outside, with some homes including a detached garage and fireplaces built for gas logs with glass surrounds. Residents can use the gated community's club house for meetings or parties, take part in outdoor and indoor activities, stroll down wide sidewalks or nature trails, relax by stone fire pits, and bring dogs to the dedicated dog park, while lawn care and common area maintenance are covered by the homeowners association, along with water, trash, and pest control, and security's looked after with a fire alarm system, emergency alert systems, and a 24-hour call system for help when needed. Community life moves at a friendly pace with group events, movie nights, fitness programs, arts and crafts rooms, a library, and wellness rooms; a business room for residents needing to handle paperwork; and help is available for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medication management, plus full housekeeping, laundry, and move-in support if needed. Food options in the dining room cover all meals, with a professional chef, restaurant-style service, all-day dining, meals for those with allergies, diabetes, or special diets, and residents often gather together for parties, backyard get-togethers, or just to talk about neighborhood happenings-some say Southern traditions run deep here. The lot sizes in Serenity reach up to 15.43 acres for the full community, while individual homes can have lots close to 6,098 square feet, and with public water and sewer, irrigation systems, and no shared walls, everyone has a bit of privacy. Newly built homes come with a 2-10 home warranty program, but there's no separate home warranty for resale or older units, and traffic signals at the main entrance make getting in or out safer. You'll see amenities fit for health, recreation, and peace of mind, and while the homes start from the high $300's, folks find value in the safety, quiet roads, and simple comforts here in one of Money Magazine's top-rated communities.
