SPONSORED CONTENT | BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT “We offer a little of everything. There are the pickleball courts, but we also have bocce ball courts, a 10,000-square-foot clubhouse called The Barn, where residents can have fitness classes, enjoy a movement studio, use the full working kitchen and have access to the community’s lifestyle director if they’re looking for other things to do,” Scott said. Everything about The Retreat is about personal preferences. While the community is largely low maintenance-, Scott said residents can choose how much maintenance they want to do. “Snow and trash and things like that are taken care of, but we’ve found that many people enjoy doing their own landscaping and yard work, so we leave decisions like that up to them,” she said. Of the 577 units available starting at approximately $300,000, residents can choose between The Fairmont Collection, The Retreat Collection or The Bungalows. The Fairmont Collection is a paired duet product, sharing a wall with its neighboring home. Square footage on The Fairmont Collection ranges between 1,246- to 1,704- square feet, depending on the floor plan you choose. Some have two bedrooms, two bathrooms and flex space with an attached garage as standard. The Retreat Collection is a single-family, ranch style design offering floor plans with front and back yards and square footage ranging from 1,881- to 3,941 square feet. Depending on which of the four floor plans you require, homes in The Retreat Collection can have anywhere from two to seven bedrooms, up to five bathrooms and a three car garage. Basements in these units come with several finishing options as well. The Bungalows Collection offers single family ranch style homes that sit on a cul-de-sac with a shared driveway. These larger options boast square footage ranging from 2,704- to 3,236-square feet, with up to 3 bedrooms, up to three bedrooms and a two car garage based on your preferences. There also are several optional basement finish options available and five floor plans to choose from. All of these designs are located within the private, gated enclave of The Retreat and connected to the greater community of Banning Lewis Ranch by a system of trails, parks and other amenities focused on healthy living and fun.
