Each Cornerstone community offers a very unique and rewarding lifestyle for active adults. It is a life fostered by the types of homes we build, the people who live here and state-of-the-art amenities that come, not as add-ons but as part of the Cornerstone lifestyle package.

The Raleigh Area Offers "Green" Retirement

Located in North Carolina’s central Piedmont region, Raleigh has been named one of the nation’s Greenest Places to Retire by U.S. News & World Report. Called “the City of Oaks,” the state capital has a 41-mile greenway and plenty of open spaces and walking/biking trails for residents to enjoy. Founded in 1792, today, it’s said to be the fastest-growing metro region in the country. Raleigh senior housing communities offer residents the beauty of the outdoors with the modern conveniences of city life. People looking to retire are drawn to this part of North Carolina for its low cost of living, moderate climate and excellent health care, plus its many recreational and cultural opportunities.

Cornerstone Homes offers two Raleigh retirement communities for couples and singles looking to retire in this vibrant area. Learn more about the lifestyle our residents enjoy.
