Come Celebrate the Holidays December 1st at Newbury Village!

On December 1st at 4 PM, Newbury Village, a multiple award-winning 55+ lifestyle community in Brookfield, CT will be hosting a holiday cocktail reception and festival.  The festival will feature traditional holiday cocktails from various countries around the world, local vendors and craftsman with holiday gift ideas and a raffle with great seasonal prizes.  “We are very excited about this event and so far the RSVP response has been tremendous; we are expecting a big turnout.  It is a great way to kick off the holiday festivities, learn about different holiday traditions and get some great gift ideas from local vendors.” said Jay Metcalfe, Community Manager for Newbury Village.

Newbury Village is an award-winning 55+ lifestyle community located in Brookfield, CT.  It was just voted 2012’s BEST 55+ COMMUNITY IN FAIRFIELD COUNTY by the Homebuilder’s Association of Connecticut.  At Newbury Village, you can enjoy a carefree, luxurious lifestyle in a beautiful home amidst gorgeous surroundings.

The community is located on forty-three plus park-like acres with plenty of preserved open space and nature trails along a picturesque river, perfect for leisurely afternoon strolls or kayak/canoeing along the river for the more adventurous.  Newbury Village features two distinct home styles based on the needs and desires of residents.  The magnificent Grand Coach Homes, named 2012’s BEST 55+ ATTACHED HOME UNDER 2,000 SF are designed specifically for those who want the ultimate in single-level, carefree living where they can simply lock their front door and travel at their leisure, be it for a weekend or the entire winter.  In addition, Newbury Village has only a few of their award-wining Townhomes remaining, great for those looking for a maintenance free lifestyle with all that an amenity-rich community offers, but still want the extra bedrooms for visiting family and storage space of a single-family home.

The motto at Newbury Village is Live Life Now!  To that end, the community features an abundance of lifestyle amenities for residents to choose from including nature trails, kayak/canoe ramp, and outdoor patio facilities with BBQ and pergola located on the banks of a river and next to a beautiful community fountain.  The heart of the community is The Newbury Club, Newbury Village’s award-winning clubhouse with outdoor pool, fitness center, private locker rooms, billiards, multi-purpose room and grand Newbury Room for community parties and functions.  The Newbury Club is the central meeting place for community activities, including Mahjong Club, movie nights, craft activities, wine tastings, guest speakers and more!  From there the community residents branch out to all the Brookfield and surrounding area has to offer from community dinners at local restaurants to trips to casinos and New York City dinners and shows.  Of course residents have all the time in the world to enjoy the lifestyle as all the exterior and community grounds are professionally cared for including landscaping, snow plowing, etc.  As one resident we interviewed said “It’s great!  When it snows, I drink my coffee and watch the crews outside shovel my driveway and walkway.”

Sales activity at Newbury Village has been robust this past Fall, with several homes sold and more deposits coming in.  “The energy at Newbury Village has been fantastic these past few months, we can really feel locally the turn in the market that has been reported nationally,” said Jay Metcalfe, “not just in the sale and deposit activity at Newbury Village, but also in the resale market.  We have had a number of our buyers sell their old homes recently, including some with multiple offers!”

Since the Grand Opening last spring, the first offering of Coach Homes is almost completely sold out, with only a few homes left available.  Deposits are actively being taken now for homes in the second offering with delivery dates ranging from mid to late 2013, perfect for folks looking to make the move to a 55+ lifestyle community and with plenty of time to sell their old home.

With all its special features, award-winning design, unsurpassed craftsmanship, and exceptional quality of living, Newbury Village offers a truly wonderful place to live. Once you step inside your coach home or townhome, play Mahjong with the crew at The Newbury Club and go out to dinner with neighbors who seem they have been your friends for a lifetime, you’ll know this is the life you have been waiting for..  It's time to Live Life Now! at Newbury Village. “Like we tell every prospective new resident who comes in the door, I can tell you dozens of stories of folks who were glad they made the leap to a new life at Newbury Village,” said Jay, “but I can’t tell you about any that are glad they waited instead.”
