Victoria Falls Named Best Master Planned Community!
Springfield, VA – [August 30, 2007]. Slenker Communities, a Mid-Atlantic land developer of mixed-use, multi-generational and 55+ lifestyle communities, announces their nationally-acclaimed community Central Parke at Victoria Falls in Laurel, Maryland, has been named one of the “100 Best Master-Planned Communities” by Where to Retire magazine.
“This is the third time one of our communities has received this honor and we are thrilled”, said William T. Slenker, President of Slenker Communities.
Where to Retire magazine began their biennial recognition of communities in 1999 and have witnessed a rapidly increasing growth in developments marketed to the empty nesters and retirees. Among the trends noticed are retirement communities reaching beyond the Sunbelt, growth near urban areas with people making pre-retirement moves and communities that preserve the natural habitat creating trails and parks.
Slenker Communities’ highly successful and award-winning 55+ resort lifestyle communities have been recognized as among the best in the country. Central Parke at Victoria Falls, was named the best in the nation by the 50+ Housing Council of the National Association of Home Builders. Their Ocean City, Maryland community The Parke at Ocean Pines, was twice named in the “100 Best Master Planned Communities” issue of Where to Retire magazine. The cutting-edge home designs regularly sweep the Monuments Awards every year.
What makes the community stand out from the competition is its location outside Washington, D.C., resort-style amenities, Carefree Maintenance Program, and variety of home choices. The Private Resort Club at Central Parke at Victoria Falls has won rave reviews from homeowners. With its distinctive plum color and Victorian design, the 13,500 square foot Resort club is the social hub of the community offering a state-of-the-art Fitness Center, Indoor Lap Pool, Outdoor Pool and Terrace, Grand Room/Auditorium, Library & Business Center, Catering Kitchen, Massage Room, Whirlpool Spa and Sauna, Card Room, Billiards and Sports Lounge, Arts & Crafts Studio, and Barbecue Area. Victoria Falls also features a waterfall entrance, community parks, Tennis Center, and a Mail Pavilion. Central Parke’s extensive Carefree Maintenance Program takes care of mowing the lawn, fertilizing, mulching of shrub and flower beds, cleaning gutters, and shoveling snow and clearing it right up to your front door and garage. The Carefree Maintenance Program gives homeowners more time to enjoy the community’s resort-style amenities. Central Parke at Victoria Falls offers a variety of home choices from four leading builders. The community features luxury condominiums with elevators and garages by Sturbridge Homes, single-family homes on cul-de-sacs built by Michael Harris Homes and luxury villas with garages by Craftstar Homes and Drees Homes.
In addition to Central Parke at Victoria Falls, the company is currently developing two other 55+ resort lifestyle communities: Central Parke at Colonial Charles in Waldorf, Maryland, and Central Parke at Milford Ponds in Milford, Delaware.
“We will be making some major real estate announcements regarding the future of Slenker Communities, including a unique, public – private partnership between the University of Maryland and our Central Parke 55+ Resort Communities,” adds Slenker. “Stay tuned.”
