Why Buying a Park Model Home in a 55+ Community is a Smart Retirement Decision

Retirement is a time for new adventures and experiences, and choosing the right place to call home is a crucial part of that journey. For many retirees, a park model home in a 55+ community offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and community.


Here's why a park model home is a smart retirement decision:


#1 Affordability

Park model homes are typically more affordable than traditional homes, making them an attractive option for retirees looking to downsize and simplify their lives. While incredibly affordable, Woodfield prides itself on offering a wide variety of floorplans with luxurious finishes such as upscale shaker-style cabinetry in the kitchen and bathroom(s), stainless steel appliances, 2-inch faux wood blinds, and high ceilings with modern recessed lighting.



In addition, the dedicated onsite construction crew at Woodfield is ready to assist with the addition of a den, second bedroom or bathroom, a dream patio, or wrap-around porch! In addition to the lower purchase price, the cozy luxury park model homes at Woodfield have much lower maintenance and utility costs than conventional second homes, helping stretch retirement savings further.


#2 Community Living

Living in a 55+ community like Woodfield offers a sense of camaraderie and belonging that can be hard to find elsewhere. So many visitors to Woodfield become seasonal or year-round residents because they absolutely fall in love with the genuine neighborly warmth, the tight knit feeling of the community, and the countless fun activities and events!


At Woodfield, there are many regular weekly and monthly social gatherings like Pizza Palooza, Taco Tuesday, Women and Wine, Brews and Bros, Grill & Share. These gatherings (in addition to the MANY groups and activities offered at Woodfield) foster a strong sense of community and make it easy to form new friendships with like-minded individuals.



#3 Low Maintenance Lifestyle

One of the biggest advantages of park model home living is the low maintenance lifestyle it offers. Park model homes are typically smaller and more manageable than traditional homes, making them easier to clean and maintain. Additionally, Woodfield offers easy-to-request onsite home services for home maintenance and repairs as well as a convenient onsite crew that can help with construction and landscaping projects, allowing residents to spend more time enjoying their retirement and less time on home maintenance and chores.



#4 Access to Amenities

Location. Location. Location. When looking for a 55+ community, most retirees seek a balance of convenience and serenity. Part of the magic of Woodfield is that the community feels secluded--tucked away in the tall pines-- even though it’s in the middle of town, located only a mile from the hospital and some of the best dining and shopping in the area. Enjoy lunch or dinner at a wide variety of locally-owned restaurants or stroll through one of the many farmers markets.



Hit dozens of local shops to find handcrafted furnishings and art, gourmet kitchen supplies, fishing gear, or quilting supplies. Drive 4 minutes from Woodfield and you’re at Show Low Lake where you can paddle, fish, or hike along the water and spot bald eagles and other wildlife. From countless nature trails for walking and biking to lush green golf courses framed by Ponderosas, and local wine bars and breweries, Woodfield offers easy access to a wide variety of mountain retirement life fun and local resources and amenities in Arizona’s White Mountains.


#5 Security & Peace of Mind

Security is a top priority for many retirees, and 55+ communities like Woodfield are designed with this in mind. Woodfield is a gated community with an onsite management team and a tight knit neighborly atmosphere where community members look out for one another, providing residents with a genuine sense of safety and peace of mind.


Ready to explore? Buying a park model home in a 55+ community can be a smart retirement decision for a variety of reasons. From affordability and community living to less home maintenance and access to amenities, park model home living (at the right community) offers retirees a comfortable and fulfilling retirement lifestyle. 


If you're considering your retirement living options and/or a second home in the mountains, be sure to book a tour or a short term stay with us at Woodfield to experience the beauty and comfort of this truly special 55+ community for yourself. The mountains are calling!
