Longacre Village

Longacre Village sits in Dover, Delaware, and covers quite a bit with its planned 55+ residential community status, so you'll find it's got single-family homes, townhomes, and villas like the Ivy and Primrose models, plus some custom resale homes, and most of these houses focus on easy first-floor living with options running from about 1,200 square feet all the way up near 3,000 square feet, and there's a good open floor plan style, kitchens with granite counters, hardwood flooring, nine-foot ceilings, and a great room with a gas log fireplace, and in many of them, the primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, cathedral ceiling, and attached bath. The community has its own homeowners association with a $140 monthly fee that takes care of grass cutting, snow shoveling, and upkeep of the common areas, so folks don't need to worry about the yard work or driveways, and that includes access to a swimming pool and a 3,000-square-foot clubhouse, which means residents can use the pool, fitness room, hobby rooms, and enjoy gatherings or fitness schedules, plus the place is pet-friendly with no pet restrictions, which is nice for animal lovers. The grounds have sidewalks, street lights, tree-lined roads, and some lots have privacy fencing and views of ponds or woods, so there's a peaceful feel around the neighborhood. Living here means you can also get help if you need memory care, assisted living, independent living, or even skilled nursing and rehab, since the place supports different care options, and there's always supervision, help with medicine, laundry, meals (with diabetic and allergy options), bathing, and transfers for those who need it, with a 24-hour call system for extra peace of mind. Residents get dining in a big room, all-day meal options, and restaurant-style service, and there's housekeeping, move-in help, laundry, and even concierge or family support services if needed, plus they've got daily activities, fitness programs, movie nights, and resident-run events. Homes come with main-level bedrooms, attached two-car garages, decks, covered front porches, programmable thermostats, energy-efficient windows, and public utilities like water, sewer, natural gas for heat, and broadband for cable TV and internet, and each place has plenty of storage and space for easy living. The location's helpful too, since you can walk to local medical offices, shopping, restaurants, and the library, while you're still close enough to highways for trips to the city or the beach. Longacre Village is set up for folks who want a mix of independent and supported living with active amenities, scenic views, and no heavy chores to deal with, and it runs as a friendly neighborhood where folks chip in and new faces get welcomed, so there's always someone around if you need a hand.
