Who is living their best life? Who is able to fully engage in a rich, stimulating, experience-filled life? Is it the people who are living in single family homes with rolling back yards crowded with neighbor filled summer barbeques? Or is it the people who live in minimalistic apartments, downsized with multipurpose furniture? Individual preferences matter, for sure. Statistics say that 80% of Americans prefer to live in a single family home, while only 8% prefer apartment and condo living.

But who’s really living right?
Getting out to enjoy meaningful times with friends and family, traveling to new places, and indulging in celebratory meals at favorite restaurants are all activities that bring so much joy to life. But surprisingly, the freedom to pursue these things is sometimes hampered by the weight of owning a single family home.
Think about it: maintenance and repairs, yard work, and too much clutter can actually rob you of the emotional freedom you need to enjoy life to its fullest. When you have to maintain, manage, and clean a large home filled with decades of collected items, you can almost feel paralyzed to the point at which pleasurable activities become practically non-existent. Isolation, loneliness, and depression can also come into play.
Living in a smaller, lighter, more manageable livable space, like an apartment, can produce a freeing feeling inside. This enables us to feel available to pursue fresh, stimulating activities. Apartment residences also encourage socialization, as neighbors are always around to connect with – and that can be especially rewarding.
This is the year and this is the season in which experiences are taking a front seat as priorities in our lives. Willow Valley Communities, a premier 55-plus community in Lancaster, understands this mindset and has seen it played out over and over. Many of their new residents express the joy they feel when they move into a maintenance-free apartment residence with less clutter slowing them down. They are relieved —and excited — to begin this new stage of life. In fact, rather than referring to “down-sizing,” many Willow Valley Communities residents prefer the term “rightsizing.” Clearing clutter and reducing the size of their living space to make room for experiences just seems to feel “right.”
Willow Valley Communities agrees with this, and also observes that often those who want to get started could use a little inspiration. To help, they’re inviting you to an Open House at their exciting new luxury apartment residence community: SouthPointe Village.
SouthPointe Village, located on Willow Valley Communities’ Lakes Campus, is the last opportunity to move into brand new apartments on the main campus. SouthPointe Village’s stunning apartment residence styles include either a 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath floor plan or a 2 bedroom, 2-1/2 bath with study floor plan. And residents of SouthPointe Village will all enjoy the exceptional lifestyle that Willow Valley Communities offers across their award-winning community.
Throughout the afternoon of the SouthPointe Village Open House self-guided tours and informational sessions will be offered. You’ll have the opportunity to learn all about Willow Valley Communities’ extraordinary lifestyle including award-winning amenities on their stunning 210-acre campus: the 80,000 square foot Cultural Center with its 500 seat performing arts theater, Fitness and Aquatics Centers, Art Gallery, Day Spa, and Vitality Café.
To further enrich your life outside of your residence, Willow Valley Communities offers hundreds of clubs, classes, lectures and presentations, world class entertainment, and twelve distinct culinary venues to satisfy every mood and every palate. All of this is included with the community’s financially wise Type A Lifecare contract, which offers peace of mind and protection for your nest egg. Lifecare means that your monthly service fee will not increase because of the need for an enhanced level of care later in life.
Willow Valley Communities suggests that now is the time to start thinking about what really matters in your life. Is it a house full of possessions? Or is it a life rich with experiences? They invite you to learn more at Willow Valley Communities’ SouthPointe Village Open House on August 25 11 am – 2 pm. Willow Valley Communities’ knowledgeable team will also be on hand to share additional pointers about the rightsizing process that they have learned from current residents who say their apartment life is their most inspired life.
