Benson Woods

Benson Woods sits in a quiet part of Middlebury with homes surrounded by forest and views that let residents enjoy every season, and the place is for adults aged 55 and over who'd like to live somewhere with less worry about chores like mowing the lawn or shoveling snow because the homeowner's association takes care of all that, and the homes are either detached or attached single-level ranch style condominiums, some with a second-story loft, and they've got move-in ready options with features like two bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a total of seven rooms with a big open great room and a corner gas fireplace, plus hardwood floors and a kitchen that has a Wolf range, Wolf wall oven, and SubZero refrigerator, along with custom cherry cabinets and granite counters. People can bring pets-dogs, cats, even fish are fine-and each home gives you a front porch, back deck, and a two-car garage that sometimes gets used as a sales office but always goes back to a garage before anyone moves in, and there's even walk-out basements in some houses if you want extra room. Residents get privacy with their own bathrooms, air conditioning, built-in Wi-Fi, and cable TV, and there's an option for a primary suite with a jetted tub, heated bathroom floors, and custom walk-in closets. The community itself has an arts room, library, fitness room, a spa, tennis courts, and easy access to golf courses, trails for walking or biking, and a swim and tennis club nearby, along with movie nights and daily group activities. Seniors here also get health and safety support with 24-hour staff, a call system, wellness monitoring, and services like memory care and assisted living if needed, plus the staff set up personalized care plans. Dining is part of the package, with choices for all kinds of diets and sit-down meals in a dining room or all-day options. Maintenance helpers, housekeeping, laundry, and concierge services round out the support, and there's move-in coordination available for newcomers. It's easy for seniors who want independence but don't want to handle repairs, outdoor chores, or emergencies alone, and everything's set up for comfort, safety, and an active lifestyle, with scheduled buses and family support if needed, plus helpful touches like main-level laundry and zero steps between main rooms. Every home can be customized before move-in, and the 47 homes here make for a close-knit group, all within a few minutes of shopping, parks with picnic tables, and major highways for family visits.
