Turns out the standards and lifestyle that make Living Dunes so unique are also some of the most sought after features for the baby boomer population, which now represents 75 million of the 55+ aged home buyers. By utilizing green building materials and construction methods, our homes are high-quality and built to last, and according to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), exactly What Home Buyers Really Want.

What Are Durable Materials?

A recent survey of the NAHB, What Home Buyers Really Want, shows that while energy efficiency in their homes is still important, the vast majority (81%) are now also wanting to invest in durable materials that need to be replaced less frequently. Considered a green building strategy, incorporating durable materials in construction results in less waste and resources needed for upkeep lessening the impact on the environment.

Durable materials such as fiber cement siding, granite countertops, reclaimed wood, eco-friendly cabinetry and hardwood flooring are installed as a standard in every Living Dunes home, resulting in homes that are built to a higher standard of quality that are also HERS rated.

Community Lifestyle

The survey also indicated this same group of home buyers are also interested in environments outside of their home. Seeking to explore and stay connected with the surrounding community, a key component to the overall design of Living Dunes.

Among the many amenities, the Living Dunes lifestyle boasts:

• Close proximity to shopping, dining, and entertainment
