The Villas at Magnolia Lakes by Cornerstone Homes

RICHMOND, Virginia – Cornerstone Homes will celebrate the groundbreaking of their new models at The Villas at Magnolia Lakes on Wednesday, October 1st from 4 – 6 pm. There will be a ceremonial on-site groundbreaking prior to the Champagne Kick-Off in The Magnolia Club community clubhouse.

Sales have been brisk since the opening of the Sales Office, and future residents are eagerly awaiting the beginning of construction. Excitement has been building for this unique, active lifestyle community. Located in Chester, The Villas at Magnolia Lakes features single-story homes with resort-like amenities for the dynamic lifestyle that today’s empty nesters and retirees seek.  Designed as a cohesive, close-knit community, Magnolia Lakes fosters a sense of freedom by minimizing the burdens of homeownership, while encouraging relaxation, recreation, and travel!

The active adult market is the fastest-growing segment of homebuyers, and Cornerstone specializes in creating homes and communities that meet their demands. The Villas at Magnolia Lakes feature an active lifestyle emphasizing health and wellness, fun, family, and friends, as well as smart, energy-efficient homes, with incredible community amenities. The community is surrounded by a lake that will have a pavilion and boardwalks, as well as walking trails, and a clubhouse complete with a kitchen, a fitness center, and an indoor/outdoor fireplace. With its convenient location near I-95 and Route 288, residents can be in Richmond in no time.

Current Magnolia Lakes residents are thrilled that they will soon have new neighbors joining their close-knit community. Current resident Ed Newman says the key reasons he chose Magnolia Lakes were the convenience, ease of living, and the opportunity to be active. “We are a very active group. We’ll catch movies, go to plays, and host a party on holidays,” says Mr. Newman. “There’s a group of 10-15 women who have lunch once a month, while a group of 10-15 men meets for breakfast once a month. It’s a great opportunity to get together with friends and have a good ol’ time.”  Mr. Newman says he wishes he’d made the move to Magnolia Lakes even sooner!
