When active adults need to make life changes, such as downsizing, they want to purchase homes that simplify their lives. Jim Chapman Communities builds such homes. The builder’s great reputation has led many to buy in Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge, a community in Cumming, Ga. that offers homes from the $220,000s.

Two of the community’s recently sold homes were bought by Jane Skellchock and her son and daughter-in-law, Billy and Karen. A transplant from Maryland, Jane has been living in Georgia since 2003. Billy, on the other hand, decided to move down with his wife after touring Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge with his mother. They will now be neighbors. The maintenance-free ranch condominium homes and carefree life were perfect for the family.

“Maintaining independence was the most important to me,” stated Jane. She can do so with convenient access to nearby stores, banks and hospitals. She said, “The area will fit my needs as I get older, and I hope to stay independent as long as I can!”

The family was also impressed with the substantial building already completed and the architecture of the homes. Jane was able to work closely with the builders and staff in order to customize her home so that it would fit her needs. (more…)
