Carolina Arbors by Del Webb Named 2016 Active Adult Community of the Year

"Carolina Arbors has it all for those looking for a social and active lifestyle in a great city," says Bill Ness, Chief Executive Officer for 55places.com. "From its greatest hits compilation of all of Del Webb's most desirable floor plans to its newly opened amenity center, Carolina Arbors' close-knit community has a welcoming vibe, making it one of the most sought-after communities for the 55+ homebuyer."

55places.com gives the active adult community of the year award to a development that makes substantial improvements to the quality of life of its residents, whether it be through opening clubhouses, offering new home models, or substantively expanding their clubs and activities.

Along with Carolina Arbors, Del Webb communities made up three of the top six most highly-ranked communities, Sun City Hilton Head in Bluffton, South Carolina, and Sun City Texas in Georgetown, Texas, were also named to this year's list. 

Earlier in 2016, Carolina Arbors officially grand opened Piedmont Hall, a 37,000-square-foot amenity center, which was ultimately the deciding factor in the community earning top honors. Some of Piedmont Hall's offerings include an indoor pool and spa, billiards, state-of-the-art recreation and fitness center, varsity rooms, aerobic exercise rooms, ceramics room, ballroom and more. The amenity center offers residents the flexibility of staging indoor and outdoor social events simultaneously while giving the residents a way to expand their social circle.

"For more than 60 years, Del Webb has been offering communities that are recognized and sought out by individuals looking for an active lifestyle and friendly neighborhoods," said David Carrier PulteGroup's President for the Raleigh Division. "It is clear from the 55places.com rankings that the Del Webb lifestyle continues to resonate with today's homebuyers."
