Best Active Adult Design: Maintenance-Free ‘Midwestern Charm’ in Ohio
Located inside a mixed-use development with retailers such as Costco, Cabela’s and Kroger is Dogwood Commons, a 110-unit community by Treplus Communities near Dayton, Ohio.
Th active adult community boasts Midwestern charm, meant for older adults looking to downsize while remaining close to their loved ones whilst living a maintenance-free lifestyle.
With shed roofing and mixed stone for siding, the community was designed in the architectural style of rustic and contemporary. Private single-story luxury apartments ranging from 1,200 to 1,600 sq. ft. are available for buyers to choose from while offering a wide variety of amenities including The Commons community center and a garden for the residents’ use.
According to Senior Housing News, The process for bringing Dogwood Commons to life began in 2018, when Treplus CEO Jane Arthur Roslovic was looking across Ohio for the company’s next project.
Early on, the project team landed on a master-planned development near Dayton called Cornerstone of Centerville. The development, which is located adjacent to a large apartment complex, also intended to set aside space for an active adult community.
Treplus was interested in the location given its proximity to the Dayton market and to the nearby Wright-Patterson Air Force base, as well as its trees, green areas and nearby shopping destinations. So Roslovic and her team met with the officials from the government of Centerville, and initial plans were laid.
