When we’re young, we think we’ll be young forever.  Then we marry, settle down, have kids – in other words, we grow up.  We become responsible adults who do everything in our power to make sure our children grow up to be happy, well-adjusted adults themselves.  And when the final child leaves the nest, what’s next for us?  This big old house that held tight the family for decades is now just big and old – and maybe a little empty.  It’s likely the home is very expensive to heat and even more taxing by way of the repairs and maintenance on the home’s exterior as well as the property itself.  So what do you do?

One solution: you could sell your old home and buy a new garden style home in Winterwood; Salem, NH’s latest addition to over-55 active adult communities.  Cozy and luxurious, the 37 homes of Winterwood are all 800 to 1200 square feet in size and contain one or two bedrooms with multiple bathrooms. Residents enjoy underground parking privileges and access to fitness, recreation and meeting rooms.  With all the homes comes the peace of mind of knowing that any problems outside the home itself are not yours to deal with.  That’s what maintenance-free, 55+ living is all about. 

All the homes in Winterwood are built by Stonehill Builders and are “built with quality in mind”.  Stonehill Builders have focused on developing over-55 communities in the area, and are the proud builders of Indian Hill Estates in Derry, Irongate Village in Hampstead, Winterwood in Salem and Village at Town Center, also in Salem.

This 14-acre development sits less than one mile of Route I-93 and has very easy access to Route 28.  Salem, New Hampshire is well known for the many retail businesses lining Route 28 from the Methuen, MA border at the south to the Derry, NH border at the north.  Salem is home  to the Rockingham Park horse racing track and to the Rockingham Mall, a mammoth, fully enclosed, two-story shopping extravaganza, right next door.  The Canobie Lake Amusement Park is five minutes away – no better place to bring the grandchildren when they visit.  Salem is about twenty minutes from the sprawling metropolis of Manchester and about thirty minutes from the state’s largest city, Nashua.  Boston lies to the south, approximately forty-five minutes and the mountains of the White Mountain National Forest are just over an hour north.  The New Hampshire seacoast is always hopping during the summer months and can be reached in less than forty minutes.  Living in Salem gives you easy access to anywhere.
