For many active adults, the idea of downsizing to a smaller home can be emotionally challenging. After spending most of their time and raising a family in one home, it becomes difficult to think about putting it on the market. However, there are many advantages to downsizing to a smaller home such as at Jim Chapman Communities’ Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge in Cumming.

Priced from the $280,000s, Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge is designed specifically for the needs and lives of active adults. This community offers ranch condominiums with spacious floor plans and maintenance-free living opportunities that help to simplify any lifestyle. The two and three bedroom floor plans with vaulted ceilings and oversized master suites make it possible to recreate any favorite living space from a previous home.

Another benefit of living at Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge is that residents have access to extraordinary amenities, including a beautiful heated pool, outdoor fireplace and clubhouse with an exercise room and kitchen. Additionally, the gate and privacy fences add security and a peace of mind.

When considering downsizing, follow these simple tips. First, have a support system of family and friends during this period. Not only will they be there emotionally, they can also help during the physical moving process. Also, after living in a larger home, there may be too many items. Take the most important, and allow family and friends help decide what should be sold or donated. And remember, it is very possible to recreate memories and make new ones in a new home.

Brookhaven at Lanier Ridge is conveniently near Lake Lanier, the Mall of Georgia, North Georgia Premium Outlets, Northside/Forsyth Hospital, easy transportation routes and other attractions.
