Now Selling Villas at Iron Mill in Chester, VA

March 18, 2022

Villas at Iron Mill might be relatively new to the scene, but since it opened in 2020, it has quickly become one of our most popular 55+ communities. The in-demand amenities, ideal location, and floor plans featuring first-floor living make this community a crowd-pleaser. In fact, nearly forty homeowners have already started Living Up in this community! We recently released a new section in Villas at Iron Mill and new homebuyers quickly jumped at the chance to join in on all that Villas at Iron Mill has to offer. For anyone still considering making to move to the Villas at Iron Mill, we put together a sneak peek into what homebuyers are loving about this community.

STREAMLINED FIRST-FLOOR LIVING

Each floor plan at Villas at Iron Mill features one-level living for a home that fits your lifestyle now and for years to come. Choose from three different floor plans, each one including: a spacious Owner’s Suite, an extra bedroom for overnight guests, and even a Flex Room that can be turned into an additional bedroom, office, home gym, or art studio — the options are endless.

Welcoming friends or family to your home is easy thanks to the open kitchen space, designed for gathering and connecting with your loved ones. Your home will feel even larger because of the outdoor living space that allows you to take in the fresh air, idyllic views, and good company. And don’t worry, one-level living doesn’t mean skimping on storage. We know that our 55+ homebuyers have decades of memories in tow and need adequate space to tuck them safely away, so we’ve included extra storage space in each floor plan too.

Villas at Iron Mill homebuyers also get to choose the exterior look of their home. Whether you love craftsman homes, prefer farmhouse style, or hope for cottage-like charm, you can make your new home a reflection of your style, starting with the curb-appeal.

SOUGHT-AFTER COMMUNITY AMENITIES

The Villas at Iron Mill brings people together and offers more than a traditional neighborhood. That starts with the community clubhouse. The large space is conducive to hosting family gatherings or mingling with your neighbors. It also offers an indoor fitness center and outdoor pool to make it easy to stay active year-round.

No need to Google nearby walking trails, they’re in your backyard! Trails wind through the community so that just steps from your front door you can grab your canine companion, plug into your favorite podcast, and take a stroll.

The cherry on top? Each home comes with included lawn care. That means all the time you currently spend mowing, raking, and maintaining the lawn can be exchanged for lounging by the pool, walking trails with a friend, or simply Living Up in your brand new home.

CONVENIENT LOCATION

With all the benefits of the Villas at Iron Mill, you might think that it can’t possibly get more appealing. But it does. The location in Chester is also well-situated, making running errands and living your life outside of the community a cinch. Knock out your weekly shopping at the nearby Kroger Marketplace. Pick up dinner at local favorites: The Village Grill or Howlett’s Restaurant and Tavern, and then treat yourself to dessert at SweetFrog. Take up a fitness class at Anytime Fitness or American Family Fitness. And if you commute, or need to get to another part of town, this community is close to both US-288 and I-95, making hopping on the highway convenient too.

SENSE OF COMMUNITY

Homeowners that live in the Villas at Iron Mill benefit from an overarching sense of belonging and togetherness. If you’re tired of living in a neighborhood where you can’t connect with your neighbors, Villas at Iron Mill is a refreshing throwback to the neighborhoods of yesteryear.

No need to go knocking on doors, the community amenities make it easy to introduce yourself in between sets at the fitness center, or when you’re catching rays by the pool. Plus, there are book clubs, happy hours, and other social events already established, making it simple to find like-minded community members.
