Summertime at StyleCraft: When Community Amenities Come to Life

Thanks to thoughtfully designed community amenities, StyleCraft homeowners don’t need to travel far to enjoy a summertime escape.

All they need to do is step outside their door.

Many neighborhood amenities, from clubhouses to gyms, are convenient spots to elevate your daily routine all year long. But other community amenities, from pools and dog parks to pickleball courts, are even more enjoyable over summer. Here’s a closer look of how each of our communities embrace summertime — and how neighborhood amenities are a big part of it.

Where to Find Resort-Style Community Amenities

We’ve all been to the disappointing hotel where the pool was “only closed” the two days you were there or the tennis courts needed to be mowed. Similar to summer vacation retreats, not all neighborhood amenities Live Up the same. We take great pride in building in communities with thoughtfully designed amenities — and some of them rival those found in 5-star island retreats, including:

Mosaic at West Creek: A sunny Saturday afternoon at this 55-plus Goochland community looks like a scene from a postcard, with an inspired pool design, clubhouse and conservatory, firepit, pickleball court, and dog park.

The Reserve at Springdale Park: Our Henrico townhome community is a family friendly paradise, complete with a welcoming pool and plenty of lounge chairs. Add a grilling station, dog park and pet spa, as well as a playground and walking trails, and it’s easy to see how you can fill a day (or a weekend) at The Reserve at Springdale Park.

Mason Yards: Your oasis in downtown’s most desirable neighborhood deserves top-flight amenities. And that’s exactly what you’ll find at our Scott’s Addition luxury condos.  The smartly designed, inviting park flanked by condos sets the stage for a relaxing day reading under the sun or an impromptu get-together. The future dog park will give Fido some much-needed greenspace in the city. And the recently opened pool is already turning sunglass-adorned heads. Also, whether you want to catch a ballgame or visit a brewery, Mason Yards is a short walk to popular downtown attractions.

Woolridge Landing: This 55-plus, single-family home community in the heart of Chesterfield is just a stone’s throw from Swift Creek Reservoir, one of Richmond’s most popular summertime destinations. But you don’t even need to leave your backyard to get in on the sun-splashed recreation and relaxation. With a pickleball court, dog park, walking trails, and a pool, Woolridge Landing checks all the boxes for community amenities.

Where Neighborhood Amenities Walk the Walk

Sometimes, it’s not what you spend time doing over the summer — but what you can avoid. Time-consuming yard work and endlessly driving around lead this list of summertime fun-busters. With this in mind, we’ve developed communities that not only come with exterior maintenance on the house, but also feature locations within close proximity to shops and restaurants.

The Overlook at Hancock Village: Our Chesterfield 2-story townhome community, another neighbor of Swift Creek Reservoir, is just steps away from Starbucks, Jersey Mike’s, Walmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, and more. And because you won’t need to lift a finger in the yard, you have more time to enjoy community amenities including a clubhouse, dog park, and walking trails.

The Edge at Westchester Commons: Summer at The Edge Westchester Commons starts on Thursdays, when the free Westchester Concert Series takes the stage in your backyard — making your luxury townhome’s  sky terrace among the best seats in the house. You can also join neighbors at the outdoor gathering space complete with a gazebo  and firepit on show days or any day. Add a dog park and walkability to Westchester Commons’ 50-plus shops, restaurants, gyms, and more — and it’s more convenient than a summer roadtrip with no tolls.

We’ve talked a lot about community amenities that come into full bloom come summertime. The truth is that we’re always dreaming up fresh neighborhood amenities for both existing and new communities. This includes Henrico’s The Crossings at Mulberry, where we’re bringing a dog park, pavilion, and walking trails to life — and sidewalks to conveniently bring the townhome community together.
