Take A Look At Seaboard Junction

AARP reports that 90% of adults over age 65 want to remain in their own homes as they grow older. That makes sense because they’ve spent their entire lives working jobs, raising families, forming friendships, and making decisions for themselves. That feeling of control over oneself is vital to living a quality happy life.

Medical and lifestyle advances mean that the average lifespan has increased and the number of people who are age 65 and older continues to grow. With this understanding, there’s a lot of talk about “aging in place.” People want to enjoy life and keep what they value on their own terms. They want to stay in their own homes, in their own community, surrounded by family and friends that they know.

A new construction ranch home in Seaboard JunctionAt Paran Homes, we understand and embrace this thinking! Our builders applied this concept when creatingSeaboard Junction in Loganville. This Active Adult 55+ community is designed with that independent spirit in mind. Our 3 bedroom, 2 bath homes are sophisticated and stylish with practical, seamless flow between kitchen, dining room, and family room. Starting in the $300s, aging in place is not only comfortable, it’s economically wise!

At Seaboard Junction, you’ll have the convenience of a master on main – separate from secondary bedrooms – for privacy and space from visiting family or caretakers. This sophisticated and stylish open floor plan flows from the great room to the gourmet kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and generous soft-close cabinets. The master suite is large with walk-in closets, the master bath features a garden tub and a separate, easy step-in shower. Homes have a lovely patio or an optional screened back porch. Step out into the community and be greeted by vast green lawns and walking trails. Dig your hands in the soil at the community garden, take a dip in the pool, or just relax with a book in the cabana.

Beyond the gates, is the best that Gwinnett County has to offer:

  • Bay Creek, Vines, and Grayson Park – along with signature trails, historical markers,  environmental classes, and more!
  • Groovin’ On The Green –  Bring your picnic basket and a blanket or chair for this monthly concert on the Loganville town green.
  • Downtown Festivals – Loganville’s town square is the place to be for festivals throughout the year. Join your neighbors for the 4th of July celebration with fireworks, Autumn Fest with arts and crafts, food, and local vendors, as well as the Christmas Parade and Tree Lighting.
  • Sparky’s Machines – This place is every classic car lover’s dream. Stroll along the hot rods, muscle cars, and beautifully restored classics for a trip down memory lane.

Identify, Acquire, Design – The Secret to Paran Homes’ Success

Before we choose a homesite on which to build, we consider the people who will potentially live there. While we take pride in the house thatParan Homes is building, we understand that it will be HOME for someone else. With this in mind, we seek out convenience – with access to major highways and shopping, as well as quality of life – with highly rated schools, activities, and entertainment.

Paran Homes Logo

Once we’ve identified the best location in which to build, it’s time to negotiate! Our team uses highly-specialized, data-driven tools to arrange the best price, which enables us to pass those savings on to our home buyers. This method makes it possible for us to build the best homes in the most ideal locations. It’s a winning formula!

Now that it’s time to build, we consider the people for whom we are building. What do they need and want in their new home? Are they a young couple just starting their family? Are they mid-career, possibly with teenagers, and they want to expand their activities? Maybe they’re newly retired and are looking for ease and comfort in their life. Our design team considers all of these possibilities when creating a new Paran Homes community.

Paran Homeswas founded on our intent to build with superior quality that will deliver a home our customers will love for years to come. Our formula to Identify, Acquire, and Design has worked for our company – and for our home buyers – since 2010. We believe that we have the perfect metro Atlanta home for you!
