Villages at Weathervane in Weymouth, Massachusetts, is a senior living community for active adults over 55, with 149 single-family homes and 119 units, all surrounded by parks and green space, and you get things like a homeowners' association that takes care of outside maintenance, landscaping, road repair, and snow removal, so you don't have to worry about shoveling in the winter or mowing in the summer, and people looking for help with daily activities, medication reminders, and personal care can get that kind of support here, plus there's respite care for families needing a short-term break, which people sometimes find useful, especially when caring for relatives gets overwhelming. Homes come in eight different designs with light-filled, open layouts, cathedral ceilings, hardwood and tile flooring, and features like walkout basements, roomy closets, two-car garages, and even water views in some spots, plus you've got big kitchens with stainless appliances and granite countertops, large dining areas, laundry rooms on the first floor, and a sunroom that opens up to your own deck, which some people really like for morning coffee. Many of these homes face the golf course, and there's a semi-private nine-hole, par 36 golf course right in the community, so you can walk out your door and be on the greens, and folks gather at the Weathervane Clubhouse, which has a tavern serving rustic comfort food with a modern twist, indoor and outdoor seating, a big patio, two private event rooms, even igloo dining when it's cold, and people use the space for everything from brunch to weddings or community movie nights.
There's plenty of storage in full, dry basements-some not finished yet, so you can set it up how you like-and there are walk-in closets and private, fenced yards, along with loft areas in some homes that work well for guests or extra living space, plus a gas fireplace for when you want to be cozy in winter, central air conditioning for summers, and insulated windows and doors for energy savings. The neighborhood itself is built for folks who want low-maintenance living without giving up things to do, with easy access to walking and biking trails, nearby grocery stores, movie theaters, dining, houses of worship, medical facilities, South Shore Hospital, and parks like Wompatuck State Park if you like being outdoors, and some people enjoy bringing their pets since pets are welcome here. Residents can take a bus or use public transportation to get around town or even make a trip into Boston, which isn't too far, and when folks want to see Cape Cod it's about an hour's drive, so it's pretty convenient all around. The homes here usually have two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, sometimes more, with sizes from about 1,655 to 2,400 square feet, and recent prices show homes can sell for anywhere from $849,900 to a little over a million dollars, and units are often listed for more than a month before selling, depending on the market. There are a lot of things for residents to do whether you want to be social or keep busy-fitness rooms, arts and activity spaces, a library, spa and wellness room, game and movie rooms, walking paths, and plenty of outdoor spots for BBQs or community parties.
The community is designed for people looking for safety, security, and the feeling of being at home, so there's a 24-hour call system for emergencies, a security system, concierge, housekeepers, and services like laundry or family support if you need them, and it's easy to get help moving in or organizing your day, especially helpful for folks who don't want to worry about all the details. Meals are available in the dining room or tavern, and they can meet dietary needs, whether you have allergies or diabetes, and you can always expect Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, private bathrooms, and even move-in furnished rooms if you want. People here often say they like not having to do yard work or repairs, and being able to lock up and travel if they want. The Villages at Weathervane aims to keep things simple and comfortable for adults looking for a hassle-free, active life with a bit of luxury, a friendly neighborhood, and support when you need it, but nothing feels too formal or forced, it's more of a place where you can do as much or as little as you like, and still feel taken care of.
