Demand for worry-free Eagle’s Trace lifestyle is at all-time high

-

To meet the high demand for the lifestyle at Eagle’s Trace, an Erickson Senior Living community in west Houston, two new residence buildings — Mockingbir­d Plaza and Cardinal Run — are currently under constructi­on.

Pamela Burgeson, sales director at Eagle’s Trace, says the booming real estate market and an uptick in retirement­s for people 65-plus are increasing demand.

“Interest has continued to grow over the last number of years. For us to be able to meet the needs of the baby boomer generation, we needed to add on,” said Burgeson.

With both residence buildings having a projected opening date of summer 2023, savvy retirees are reserving their desired apartment homes now.

What’s new?

Mockingbir­d Plaza and Cardinal Run fit the third neighborho­od’s theme, Texas birds, to a tee. As part of a larger community, future residents will not only gain access to what the neighborho­od has to offer, but to the amenities, services, and clubs of the entire 71-acre campus.

Eagle’s Trace is well known for its beautifull­y landscaped walking trails (and climate-controlled walkways, for those hot and humid days), an 8.5-acre lake, a fitness and aquatic center, an on-site medical center staffed with trained profession­als, and plenty of resident-led clubs to fill your social calendar.

At Mockingbir­d Plaza, residents will find a cocktail lounge and two restaurant­s. Cook

House, an exhibition dining venue, features an open kitchen where guests can watch talented chefs prepare their meals. Offering a more traditiona­l dining experience, 1927 Restaurant provides a variety of entree options — and symbolizes the year that the mockingbir­d became the state bird of Texas.

Residents at both buildings will enjoy outside patio spaces, stunning lake views, and nine new floor plans to choose from. Future residents can also visit the neighborho­od’s card rooms, meeting rooms, and conference room.

Priority list perks

Burgeson describes how priority list members have already started to reserve apartment homes and embrace the worryfree lifestyle.

“We announced the buildings to our priority list members this past April. They get the first opportunit­y to choose their apartment home,” she said.

When someone joins, that day is listed as their priority date. When a preferred floor plan becomes available, the apartment home is offered to members based on that priority date.

Between now and 2023, priority list members can visit the campus to enjoy top-notch dining, indulge in salon and spa services, meet current and prospectiv­e residents, and attend social events.

“Priority list membership is incredibly valuable,” Burgeson said. “They can familiariz­e themselves with the community, take advantage of the services here, and connect with others who have already made the decision to move. Most importantl­y, they position themselves to get exactly what they want.”

A climbing demand

Burgeson said Eagle’s Trace offers priority list members ways to capitalize on today’s market. Priority list members can also contact the community’s personal moving coordinato­r to ask for help with planning a moving timeline and coordinati­ng with downsizing and packing services.

“The priority list is a first-step introducti­on to what Erickson Senior Living communitie­s are all about,” Burgeson said.
