The first phase of the 48-acre community will include 33 Garden Homes, two parks and a Club House. Reservations are now being taken for the Garden Homes, with construction projected to begin this fall.

Dr. Cohagan: “Legacy Village will be more than just a place for seniors to live, it is designed to be similar to neighborhoods of the past, where neighbors know and care about one another. The homes are designed with large front porches and the garages are located at the back of each home serviced by an alley, leaving the front yards with wide sidewalks creating a pleasant area for walking and enjoying lush landscaping and the Gazebo Park, Fountain Park and Club House. It is going to be an exceptional place to live.”

The Garden Homes of Legacy Village will range from 1,400 to 2,900 square feet and will include a private patio and two-car garage. Legacy Village will provide seniors with a “carefree lifestyle”. Residents will pay an entry fee, a percentage of which is refundable when a person leaves and a monthly service fee. This fee will cover costs such as utilities, taxes, insurance, interior and exterior maintenance, yard care and weekly housekeeping. Only telephone and cable will not be covered in the monthly fee.

The 4,000 square foot, multi propose Club House will have a country kitchen, where residents can meet informally for coffee, flexible meeting rooms for private parties, family reunions, club meetings and other social uses, a fitness center, a computer business center, state-of-the art media room and outdoor patio complete with kitchen and outdoor grilling facilities.
