Hundreds Attend Lennar Active-Adult Event in Charlotte

Oct. 2, 2012 - PRLog -- INDIAN LAND, S.C. —More than 400 potential homebuyers and over 70 Realtors came out to Lennar’s Carolina Reserve this past weekend to see one of Charlotte’s leading homebuilders showcase an attractive alternative to pricey, over-planned active adult living.

“Easy Street,” an open house event at Carolina Reserve, allowed guests to tour eight single-level home plans, meet with Lennar representatives, enjoy barbeque and live music, and register for a chance to win a $500 gift card.  But the big draw was unquestionably the low-maintenance, ranch-style homes available at Carolina Reserve in Indian Land, S.C., and Lawson in Waxhaw, N.C., designed specifically for active adults seeking a more relaxed lifestyle without all the unnecessary trappings of larger, master-planned developments.

“We received overwhelmingly positive feedback this weekend that the Charlotte market is hungry for communities that are mindful of the needs of active adults, but not burdened by expensive amenities like a golf course, dining club or round-the-clock social program,” said Jon Hardy, Lennar’s Charlotte division president.  “And people really seemed to like the multigenerational aspect of our communities, where it’s not uncommon for a young family to live in the same neighborhood as the grandparents because there are no age restrictions.”

Homes in each community are ENERGY STAR® 3.0 certified and feature two to four bedrooms, two to three bathrooms and 1,686 to 2,776 square feet of living space.  They also include Lennar’s signature Everything’s Included® program, which provides homeowners with luxury features such as granite countertops, GE® stainless steel appliances, Moen faucets and maple cabinetry as standard items in the home’s base price, with no surprises or hidden costs.  With other builders such features are typically offered as upgrades, often adding thousands of dollars to the cost of the home.

Located off of Jim Wilson Road just east of U.S. 521, Carolina Reserve is minutes from the Ballantyne area’s offices, shopping, dining and entertainment.  Planned amenities include a clubhouse with fitness center and a pond with a dock; for recreation lovers there are several golf courses as well as the scenic Catawba River nearby.  The ranch homes at Carolina Reserve - The Meadows are priced from the $190s and include perpetual lawn care, ideal for worry-free living.

Priced from the low $200s, Lawson is situated near the intersection of Cuthbertson and Providence roads and is close to great shopping and dining.  Residents can enjoy a luxury clubhouse, fitness center, multiple pools, tennis courts and walking trails. Lawson at Southern Trail will offer the same ranch floor plans as those on display at Carolina Reserve - The Meadows, and perpetual lawn care is included here as well.
