The Eskaton National Demonstration Home in Roseville, Calif. was the gold winner in the category of Best Detached Home at an Active Adult Community. |
The NAHB 50+ Housing Council recently announced the winners for its 2009 Best of 50+ Housing Awards, which honor excellence and innovation in the design, development and marketing of housing for older consumers. The annual awards program showcases the latest trends in housing for the mature market.
Among the 80 honorees were many winning developments that featured designs and amenities attuned to the needs and wants of today’s 50+ resident. Entries represented a diverse range of projects, including everything from a community clubhouse with stunning Rocky Mountain views in a Denver-area active adult community to a luxury continuing care setting in Osaka, Japan.
The gold and silver award winners, announced at the Building for Boomers and Beyond: 50+ Housing Symposium in Philadelphia on April 28, include:
