Development – A Different Take on Multi- Generational Living

Although complete 2020 Census results won’t be available until mid-August, the data are expected to reveal Ohioans age 60 and older now outnumber those under age 20. Grove City has been planning for the steady rise in olderaged residents as the Baby Boom generation brings an increased demand for affordable, low-maintenance and accessible housing.

The trending shift in the aging population, combined with the general growth of the Echo Boomers population (the children of Baby Boomers) brings both challenges and opportunities to Grove City development.

The challenge is to provide our 55plus community with low-maintenance housing opportunities that complement active lifestyles within a reasonably close distance to family. The opportunities presented by the evolving development include homes with access to the same trails and open space opportunities found in larger-lot, single-family subdivisions in close proximity to extended family.

The newest, primarily single-family home developments (Farmstead, Trail View Run and Pinnacle Quarry) include smaller lots and single-story homes targeted for an older demographic.

The Beulah Park development incorporates a wide variety of living options – multi-family living, single-family homes, condominiums and assisted living – giving relatives in all stages of life the ability to come together in a single development.

The Farmstead community includes more than three miles of paved walking/biking paths with scenic views winding through the neighborhood.

Just beyond the larger, singlefamily homes of Trail View Run are single-story houses with smaller lots, intended for lower-maintenance living.
