The benefits of living in Lago Vista, a Hartz Homes active adult community in Lockport, Illinois, range from the chance to live in the home of your dreams to feeling that sense of community and enjoying endless activities, with plenty of perks in between. Here’s a list of the top 10 benefits of living in Lago Vista and why so many 55-Plus active adults are choosing this way of life rather than continuing to live in traditional neighborhoods as they age.
- Sense of community:Living in a community that has that strong sense of community, as opposed to a neighborhood that stands alone, can have a huge impact on your well-being and overall quality of life. When Hartz developed Lago Vista, the focus was on the true importance of community. To say all neighborhoods are communities is simply not true. For a neighborhood or a home to be part of a community, it needs to provide residents more than just a place to live. And for 55-Plus active adults, living in a 55-Plus community gives them a world of social opportunities and the warm feeling of home and friendships!
- Neighbors:In Lago Vista, knowing and being friends with your neighbors is the norm. Hartz promotes active adult living, as well as a strong sense of community in Lago Vista, allowing residents to really get to know their neighbors. If you are looking for a place to call home where you can stop by your neighbor’s house after your morning walk just to say hi, or to borrow a cup of flour in order to bake some muffins to bring to your weekly card game, a 55-Plus community is the place for you.
- Activities:Living in Lago Vista gives residents more than enough activities and opportunities to stay busy. For those active adults looking to learn new skills and keep busy, this community is the answer. There is a vast array of clubs to join and organizations to become a part of. Because Lago Vista is made up of people just like yourself, you’ll never be bored.
- Amenities:In addition to endless activities to keep you busy, Lago Vista has a long list of amenities. The 21,000 square foot clubhouse is home to an indoor pool, outdoor pool, sports lounge, hair salon, fitness room, community gathering space, and arts and crafts rooms. The amenities will ensure you feel safe, comfortable and completely at home.
- Homes designed for you:Hartz builds homes in Lago Vista with you in mind. This means that every single square foot of the home was designed and developed to make active adults like yourself comfortable. From the square footage and number of bedrooms to outdoor patios and open floor plans, you’ll instantly feel at home. Check out the well-designed floorplans for the single family homes as well as the townhomes.
- Peace and quiet:One of, if not the most popular benefit of living in Lago Vista is the fact that it is, in fact, in a 55-Plus community. Meaning, you must be 55 years or better to live in the community. This means there will rarely be small children running around (with the exception of grandchildren coming to visit) making noise, keeping you from relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. Not to mention the community amenities such as pools and walking paths will be limited to you and your neighbors, all of which are 55-Plus active adults.
- Learn new skills:If you have ever wanted to learn a new skill or start a new hobby, now is the time, and Lago Vista is the place. As you and your neighbors start the next chapters in your lives, you’ll find that you aren’t alone in wanting to learn new hobbies and skills. Between the classes at the clubhouse, and the groups and clubs that residents have started, you will have no trouble finding something that peaks your interest.
- Active Lifestyle: Living in Lago Vista with other active adults like yourself allows you and those around you to live that active lifestyle you have always wanted to live. Whether you want to become physically active with daily walks, workouts, and fishing (Lago Vista has 22 lakes and ponds), active in your education and learning new skills, or simply want to be out and about keeping busy, Lago Vista will help you do just that. Unlike traditional communities that aren’t specifically geared towards active adults, Lago Vista is geared towards promoting active lifestyles, increased amenities, and endless activities. You’ll find it nearly impossible to get into a lazy routine at Lago Vista, which is great news for your health and your mind!
- Opportunities to Give Back:55-Plus communities are well-known for the tremendous amount of service projects, community improvement, charity fund-raising and government involvement. And, Lago Vista is no exception, with residents mobilizing and accomplishing great things.
- Convenience: At this point in your life, you are done raising your children and taking care of others…and taking care of the yard work. It is finally time to take care of yourself and focus on starting the next chapter in your life the way you want to live. Leave the lawn mowing and snow shoveling for someone else!
Living in Lago Vista, that was conceptualized, designed and built with active adults in mind, has many, many benefits. These are just the top 10. For more information on Lago Vista, please visit the Hartz Homes website, or better yet, stop by for a tour!
