Vistamor Sees Growing Demand by Homebuyers Looking to ‘Rightsize’

June 10, 2010 - PRLog -- MONTGOMERY, NY --- America’s love affair with oversized homes is going the way of the big SUVs. For the first time in 15 years the average size of new homes built in the U.S. is shrinking, according to recent reports.

One of the factors driving the “rightsizing” of homes is the growing demand for active adult housing whose buyers are “empty-nesters” looking for carefree living with resort-style amenities.

Nowhere is this more evident than at Vistamor, a new 55-plus residential neighborhood under development on 186 scenic acres in the Town of Montgomery, NY where buyers will find well-designed, energy efficient and maintenance-free homes from just under 1,400 square feet to about 2,400 square feet along with a host of amenities.

“Our prospective buyers are more interested in lifestyle and amenities than square footage. At this point in their lives they have no need for an oversized home and all the worries and expenses that come with maintaining it. They want to live an active and healthy lifestyle in a community where they can connect with their neighbors. And that’s exactly what we’re offering at Vistamor,” said Nir Avrahami of Montgomery Group LLC, the developer of Vistamor.  

Vistamor’s 2- 3- and 4-bedroom, one- and two-story homes feature open floor plans with oversized windows for plenty of natural light, 11-foot or two-story ceilings in all the main living areas and dramatic open staircases and island kitchens that transition to family living and entertaining spaces. All homes have first-floor master suites which feature tray ceilings, walk-in closets, and master baths with soaking tubs, separate showers and dual vanities.

The homes are spaciously designed with duplex Cottages ranging from 1,367 to 1,751 square feet; duplex Classics from 1,654 to 2,076 square feet and single-family Country Homes from 1,832 to 2,420 square feet. The Cottages have 1-car garages and the Classics and Country Homes have two-car garages. All homes have basements and many have walk-out basements. The homes are preview priced from the $200s to the $400s.

Vistamor offers an abundance of amenities. They include The Veranda at Vistamor, an 8,500-square-foot center of activity with outdoor pool, indoor circular exercise pool, fitness center, sauna, spa, yoga classes, library and a state-of-the-art theater with a 5000 movie collection. There will also be a gourmet kitchen for cooking classes and a dedicated activities director from American Leisure, one of the nation’s leading fitness, lifestyle and spa management companies.

Residents at Vistamor will also enjoy a wide range of active and passive recreational amenities including tennis, bocce, croquet, lawn bowling, volleyball, badminton and shuffleboard as well as hard surface jogging trails with exercise stations. There will also be a barbecue and picnic area where residents can enjoy concerts at a bandstand. And for those with a green thumb, there will be community gardens and a greenhouse for gardening classes.

Conveniently located minutes from exit 5 of I-84, Vistamor is a short drive from the historic Orange County Village of Montgomery with its charming shops and fine restaurants. Convenience stores and a shopping center with a first-class supermarket are in walking distance of the site. Stewart International Airport, which offers daily flights to Florida and other destinations on Delta and Jet Blue airlines, is also minutes away.  

Vistamor, which will have a VIP Preview Opening this summer, already has nearly 1,000 people on its priority waiting list. “The buzz being generated by Vistamor is absolutely amazing. This is the right community at the right price at the right time,” said Mr. Avrahami.
