Check out the Spring Issue of 50+ Housing Magazine

The current issue of 50+ Housing Magazine features a full-color story on the Gold and Innovation winners of the 2006 Best of Seniors Housing Awards. Other stories include:

  • Making the Switch: Traditional Building to Active Adult — Brookfield Homes' Dorothy Harper describes how she led her company into the Active Adult market. It took a lot of preparation and a lot of changes, but it led to great success for Brookfield.
  • Attached Housing: A Necessary Component of Active Adult Communities — David Smith of Cambridge Homes shows how viable and desirable attached housing is in this market, and shares a wealth of tips on how to make the best of your attached product.
  • Good Things Come In Small Packages — Architect Carl Malcolm makes the case for smaller communities. He shows that they can be cost-effective, easy to manage, and best of all, extremely beneficial to residents.
  • Research: How Much 55+ Housing Is There? NAHB housing economist Yingchun Liu, Ph.D. analyzes data from the 2003 American Housing Survey.

The Spring 2006 issue of 50+ Housing Magazine should arrive in member's mailboxes soon. [Return to top]
