5 Favorite Floor Plans for Active Adults

When you reach the age of 55 (or even sooner if you retire early!) your priorities will most likely be quite different than they were at age 20. And that's especially true when you're considering a new place to live.

The five floor plans from our Epcon Collection at our HighRidge community in Fuquay-Varina are ideal for active adults who are looking for a home that meets their lifestyle expectations. These beautiful, single-family homes feature a number of convenient and innovative features that make life simpler and more enjoyable. Read on to find the perfect home for your 55-plus lifestyle!

The Palazzo 2020 cottage-style home is a real charmer and comes with so many options for your needs. Choose from both a single-story and two-story bungalow elevation with room for an extra guest suite - perfect for hosting your grandkids for the weekend!

The main level is excellent for hosting guests, going about your usual daily activities, or just relaxing peacefully. We find that open floor plans really maximize your square footage, so this home enjoys a truly spacious main living area that flows into a gourmet kitchen and formal dining area, widened doorways, a flex room, and plenty of natural light.

If finding little ways to unwind is important to you, you'll really appreciate what the Portico 2020 offers. The owner's suite is a little paradise located at the end of the wide main living area. Enjoy a spa-worthy bathroom complete with beautifully tiled shower, double sink vanity, marble countertops, and a spacious walk-in closet.

You'll also have direct access from the owner's suite to the back patio courtyard, perfect for watching the changing seasons with coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at sunset.

And the daily chores of life are made easy with an oversized laundry room with a sink and extra cabinets for storage. A mudroom that includes double-door closets, stylish shiplap, and hooks for dropping keys, coats and hats adds to your convenience even further.

The Torino 2020 is a single-story cottage home that has an airy, open feel. The focal point of this floor plan is the front entryway and foyer, which flow seamlessly into a sprawling main living area.

The large living room, chef-worthy kitchen, dining area and den offer a place to gather with family and friends.

Expansive, energy-efficient Low-E windows bring in beautiful natural light throughout the main spaces. This gives the whole home a more inviting feel as you make your way through the easy-to-navigate floor plan.

Our most spacious HighRidge home for active adults, the Promenade 2020, is 2,050+ square feet of living space with a wealth of features and amenities.

The main living area, which features numerous windows and light that look out onto the vast patio and covered porch, greets you as you enter. As you continue through the house, you'll make your way into a contemporary gourmet kitchen with chef-style island, and dining bar. Moving past the dining area you'll find a flex room for lounging, working, exercising or whatever you need the space to accommodate!

With so much room to spread out, the Promenade 2020 will absolutely meet your needs!

Our Classic, Craftsman, and Bungalow elevations are included in the lovely Salerno 2020 floor plan. Despite having the smallest footprint of our HighRidge homes, this quaint, cottage-style floor plan really impresses!

Enjoy a spacious traditional style main living area, which connects a beautiful family room to the state-of-the-art kitchen — perfect for cooking up family dinners and quiet breakfasts.

A luxurious owner's suite features a spa experience, including a gorgeous tiled shower and double sinks in a large counter area.

For ease-of-use, a massive walk-in closet connects the owner's suite bathroom to the laundry room. And if you opt for the sliding glass door, you'll have access to a private patio just steps from your bed.
