Red Mill Village Opens the Door a Bit Wider

Red Mill Village is now open to people ages 50-55. On Tuesday, August 10th, RMV homeowners voted overwhelming to approve an amendment to the Master Deed to change the minimum age to 50 years old from 55, while retaining the strict prohibition against children under 18. This lowering of the minimum age in active adult communities is a trend in the current real estate market.

The voting sentiment seemed to be that this exciting change would be good for everyone—buyers, current residents and Thorndike Development. According to Trustee Bill Parvey, “We are pleased that this amendment has passed as we believe it to be in the best interest of our community…Feel free to tell your friends and other contacts about this change. After all, the main intent of the amendment is to broaden the market for Red Mill Village homes -- now and in the future -- for Thorndike and for all of us.”

So, if you were holding out for that next birthday, (o r 2, 3 or 4!) to reach 55, it is time to light the candles early!

Active Homeowners at Red Mill Village

Red Mill Village is an "active adult community" and that is certainly being proved time and again by the homeowners living here! And most of the fun is taking place in the great outdoors.

The warm summer temperatures have sparked a slew of activities at our 55+ development in Norton, MA. Informal, spontaneous, Friday evening get-togethers have been well attended. Behind the Meeting House on the blue stone patio overlooking our bountiful Victory Gardens, the neighbors have been gathering weekly to mingle and to socialize with one another. Also, dining al fresco, the "Pot Luck Supper On The Green" has been a comfortable opportunity to utilize our beautiful common grounds where neighbors and their guests have gathered to share in good food and good fun.

Good for Thorndike, good for RMV homeowners and good for the Town!

The Town of Norton Planning Board met on Tuesday, August 3, 2010 and unanimously voted to approve a modification to the Red Mill Village Permit to allow the persons from age 50-55 to join the over 55 crowd.  The Planning Board members recognized the importance of broadening our market and stated that they felt it was in everyone's best interest---Thorndike's, Red Mill Village homeowners and the Town of Norton---to see Red Mill Village completed successfully as soon as possible.

Market Picking Up?

We just signed P&S agreement to build a new style home at Red Mill Village.  We will be constructing a Rockport which has a great center fireplace/country kitchen feature.  And, this home will be built on the last lot on our beautiful Village Green, right next to the Essex Model.
