Washington Active Adult New Homes Built With Golfers in Mind

“There is a growing consensus on the economic benefits of trails, benefit to property values, health benefits and traffic congestion benefits. Communities where people have opportunities for recreation tend to be healthier" - Jessyn Farrell, Executive Director of Transportation Choices Coalition in Seattle, Washington*.

If you are a health-conscious active adult in search of a Washington active adult community with recreational opportunities take a look at King County. The Sammamish River, for instance, features a trail that runs 10.9 miles along the Sammamish River from Bothell to Marymoor Park in Redmond as part of the “Locks to Lakes Corridor.” Trail is paved and offers extraordinary views of the river, the broad Sammamish River Valley, Cascade foothills and Mt. Rainier. It’s a great place for joggers, bicyclists, skaters, walkers and just about anyone who loves to be outdoors.

Speaking of the outdoors, is golfing your game? Tee off at the Golf Club at Redmond Ridge. This 18-hole, par-70 championship course designed by architect Gary Panks was recognized by Links Magazine for having the "Best Conditions in the Pacific Northwest." In fact, if you want to make golfing part of your regular routine, consider buying a new home in a Washington active adult community. Some communities here even build the golfing lifestyle right into the community.

For example, Washington active adult new homes can be found at Trilogy at Redmond Ridge just 20 minutes east of downtown Seattle between Washington’s Cascade Mountains and Puget Sound. At heart of the community is the Cascade Club, a 32,000-square-foot hub where residents can gather for golf, state of the art physical training, a dip in the Olympic-style pool with a private spa overlooking the forest, a run on an elevated indoor running/walking track, relaxation in a steam room and more. In this community, active adults will always find something to do. For more information about new homes here, contact a Trilogy Community Representative at 888.204.4446.
