An Active Adult Community Blog

Are you thinking about downsizing after 55 but unsure where to start? Many retirees and empty nesters choose to right-size their homes to fit their evolving lifestyle. A smaller, more manageable home means less maintenance, lower expenses, and more freedom to enjoy life.

At Clarity Construction, we take pride in building more than just homes—we create communities where friendships flourish and lifestyles thrive. Recently, Bob, a proud homeowner at The Courtyards at Harvest Ridge, joined us on Hello Iowa to share why this neighborhood has been such a meaningful part of his life. "We asked, How do we want to live the next 15+ years? It gave us the flexibility to do what we love"

The benefits of moving to a low-maintenance community early in life are numerous, as Julie discovered. After her move, she remarked, “Living here has given me the life improvement I have wanted"

As active adults continue to prioritize lifestyle, functionality, and convenience, 2025 brings exciting design trends that cater to both comfort and style. The shift toward homes that support well-being, flexibility, and ease of living is stronger than ever. These trends are perfect for creating a space that is both beautiful and supportive of your active lifestyle.

The start of a new year is a time for fresh beginnings, renewed focus, and setting goals for the future. What better way to kick off 2025 than by stepping into a home that truly fits your lifestyle? At Clarity Construction, we believe that a new home isn’t just about fresh walls and floors—it’s about creating a space that enhances your daily life and gives you the freedom to focus on what matters most.

As the way we live evolves, so does the way we design our homes. One feature growing in popularity among homeowners is zero-entry living—homes designed without steps at entrances, allowing seamless access from outside to inside and between key spaces. While this design element may seem like a simple convenience, it offers numerous benefits that enhance accessibility, safety, and overall quality of life for people of all ages and abilities.

It is no secret that most of us have accumulated a lot of stuff by the time we enter our fifties or sixties. When it is time to move, whether for the purpose of downsizing, living closer to grandchildren, or other reasons, it can be difficult to know what items to move into a new home and what to throw away.
