Wakefield Meadows is a 55+ gated townhouse community built in 2010, right in the Wakefield neighborhood of Wakefield, RI, and has 142 homes, each with private entry and a two-story design, and nobody has to worry about mowing the lawn or shoveling snow here because the community takes care of most maintenance. The homes, called the "Brookshire" model, have upgrades like hardwood flooring in the main living areas, insulated windows, and storm doors, and there's a real sense of space with a vaulted entry foyer and cathedral ceilings in the living room, along with a gas fireplace that makes the place feel cozy in the winter and sliding doors from the living room to a private deck for the warmer months, and plenty of sunlight fills the place. There's one-level living on the main floor, including a master suite with a large walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub, a separate walk-in shower, and water closet, as well as a second bedroom and a full bathroom with a tub and shower. Upstairs you'll find a flexible loft space that can be an office, family room, hobby area, or library, and there's also an unfinished bonus storage room, in case there's extra stuff to store. Kitchens have stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a big center island with seating for four, an eat-in area, and even space for formal dining, plus the washer and dryer are included in a laundry room off the main living space for easy chores, and central air plus gas heat keep the homes comfortable through every season. The homes have a full unfinished basement, an attached two-car garage, two driveway parking spaces, and the community is car-dependent with a Walk Score of 38, so people will likely want a car to get around for shopping or dining since the community's close to tennis courts, golf courses, restaurants, and shops, with easy highway access, bus lines, and plenty of area beaches and recreation.
People who live here get access to a lot of features, like walking paths, a fitness room, spa, sauna, wellness room, game room, arts room, a community theater, and library, plus common outdoor spaces with landscaping and a sprinkler system, and there are lots of scheduled activities, like movie nights, music programs, and fitness or arts classes, run by both the community and residents. There's also restaurant-style dining in a community dining room, all-day dining options, menus that cover allergies and diabetes, and meals prepared by professional chefs, and folks get services like weekly housekeeping, move-in help, laundry and dry cleaning, and help from concierge staff. The community provides different care levels, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, and continuing care, with staff always nearby for non-ambulatory care, help with daily activities like bathing and dressing, medication management, and a 24-hour call system for safety, family support, and supervision.
Every unit has two bedrooms and two and a half baths across about 1,990 square feet, with private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, air conditioning, and furnished or unfurnished choices. Wakefield Meadows suits anyone looking for a quiet and low-maintenance lifestyle near parks, beaches, shops, and entertainment, in a spot that's peaceful and away from the city but still close to everything needed.
