The Courtyards at Cramerton

The Courtyards at Cramerton sits at 1350 Armstrong Ford Road on the edge of Cramerton and Belmont, right near the Catawba River, and people around here like to wander the pedestrian trails that lead out to the South Fork River, which makes for a nice stroll when you want to get some fresh air, and you'll see that all the homes are single-story with all-brick exteriors and range from 1,519 to 2,445 square feet, so you don't have to fuss over stairs or outside maintenance, and those houses come with wide doorways and zero-entry showers to make it easier to move around if you've got a walker or wheelchair, and while most have porches and private courtyards, some also let you pick things like a screened porch or a second-story suite if that's something you need for visitors. The community's called a 55+ active adult place, only for people aged 55 and over, and there are about 71 or 72 homes planned, and it's meant to be pretty small and neighborly but they've got plans for an amenity center with a clubhouse and outdoor living area where folks gather; that clubhouse comes with a full kitchen, a swimming pool, an exercise room, indoor and outdoor fireplaces, and Wi-Fi throughout for people who like their devices or phone calls. You'll also see that kitchens are meant to be spacious, doorways are wide, and garages can be front- or rear-loaded, which is handy for parking, and you get to enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle where the yard, exterior, and roofs are cared for by the community, so you don't have to worry about mowing or repairs, and you spend more time outside in those private courtyards or walking trails. They support special dietary needs, including diabetes diets, and you can get help with meal preparation, dressing, bathing, medication management, and housekeeping, with staff around for supervision and a 24-hour call system for urgent help, and if you need non-ambulatory care, memory care, or assisted living, they offer that too, and they're built by NewStyle Communities, who have been working on these kinds of neighborhoods for 25 years, so things tend to run smoothly and people know what to expect. The Courtyards at Cramerton is set up to feel comfortable with features to help folks age in place, and the whole community's focused on making daily life simple, giving you a good balance of quiet privacy and neighborly chats out by the courtyards, and if you enjoy being outside, the exterior living areas and river trails are there for you, so you can be as active or as relaxed as you like, and all the homes come with those award-winning design touches folks have come to expect from Epcon Communities, which means open floor plans and spaces that feel homey without being too fancy or hard to use.
