Trilogy at Lake Frederick is the first resort community in the Washington D.C. area built by Trilogy and its first East Coast property to debut on the coveted list. This is both Trilogy at Monarch Dunes' and Trilogy at Vistancia's fifth time to be included in the list of top communities since 2010.

Trilogy communities were chosen based on their unique offerings of resort amenities, striking aesthetic landscapes and trend-based programming designed to enrich Members' vibrant social lives, promote exploration of new interests, and enhance overall health and wellness. The annual list curated by Where to Retire Magazine is the only national one of its kind, as it showcases first-person testimonials by residents of communities selected. The selection process takes place over nearly a year, as editors gather and evaluate information on more than 100 communities from 18 states.

"More often than not, we hear from our Members across the nation that living at a Trilogy community is not what they thought 55-plus living would be like - it's so much more," said Jeff McQueen, President of Trilogy by Shea Homes. "At Trilogy, we provide a resort-caliber lifestyle for empty-nesters who want to discover new interests, connect with others and ultimately enhance their lives. Trilogy at Monarch Dunes, Trilogy at Vistancia and Trilogy at Lake Frederick are more than just places to live, they are communities that truly transform one's lifestyle."

Leading the modern 55-plus lifestyle landscape since 1999, Trilogy by Shea Homes is part of the Shea Homes® family of companies and currently has 16 active lifestyle communities across Arizona, California, Washington, Nevada, North Carolina, Virginia and Florida. Trilogy has developed over 20 resort-like communities since 1999, including eight across the nation in just the last five years. The homebuilder has also unveiled eight resort clubs over the past three years, offering signature dynamic food and beverage programs, revolutionary recreation and experiential programs for residents to enjoy.
