55+ LIVING REIMAGINED
By the age of 55, many of us have a good idea of how we want to spend our time -and for most of us, snow shoveling and lawn maintenance are not at the top of the list. If you’re not in love with the endless chores and maintenance involved in owning a home, but you would like to keep your independent, active lifestyle, it may be time you look into “right-sizing” your living situation at The Spinney Group active adult communities in the Capital Region. The Spinney at Van Dyke and The Spinney at Pond View offer communities that are truly “home to a new generation.” And as The Spinney at Van Dyke breaks ground this summer on the third phase of construction, sixty distinctive signature cottages will be added to the community. As time passes the realities of aging expose the downsides of home ownership and create pressure to move. But where to? For many reasons – sentimentality, resistance to change, a lack of better living options – people continue living in homes that no longer suit them. If this sounds familiar to you, then it is a great time to consider the advantages of moving to a Spinney Group property.
You’ll love your right-sized, maintenance-free home at The Spinney. “The whole community is lovingly maintained by super grounds and maintenance crews - with swift and competent response to any special maintenance issues that might arise, though we seldom have need of such since they do preventive maintenance and inspections,” shares a resident.
Both The Spinney at Pond View in Castleton-on-Hudson and The Spinney at Van Dyke in Delmar offer ample amenities, activities, and opportunities for your own personal journey in an engaging community. There’s always something fun happening at the Clubhouse, where you’ll have pools, a gym, a media room, billiards, and a fireplace - all perfect for casual socializing. The Lifestyle Directors organize a full calendar of wellness offerings including Zumba and yoga, potlucks, group trips, live performances, and club meetings.
The Spinney Group is taking a deep dive into cutting-edge longevity and wellness science; the results will mean enriched programming that may help you add years to your life and life to your years. “We’re fine tuning our programming to be really intentional and engaging,” says Lifestyle Director, Courtney Russell. “There’s been a lot of research into wellness and active adulthood in the last couple of decades, and we’ll be rolling out new programs based on that knowledge that will help our residents get the most out of their active adult years. We have a wonderful community -- walking trails, community gardens; The Spinneys are located in beautiful settings.” The Spinney at Pond View’s nature trails include “Elisabeth’s Grove,” a lovely pond nestled within the community, and The Spinney at Van Dyke’s walking trail will connect with the Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy’s Van Dyke trail. Surrounded by nature and actively promoting walkability, The Spinney communities are just minutes from shopping, medical, dining, and other services offered in their respective towns. Cottages at a Spinney community offer accessible single-story construction with all the comforts of home and none of the burdens. Charming streetscapes and Craftsman-style architecture lend a neighborhood feel, while features including attached garages, patios and decks make you feel right at home. But life at The Spinney is about more than a great home; it’s about the bonds that are formed in the community and a vibrant atmosphere that permeates our Clubhouse and abundant amenities. It’s also about convenience and smart personal finances since several amenities are included in your rent, including, maintenance, cable TV/internet, snow removal, trash removal, landscaping and more.
