The future Clubhouse coming to The Villas at Ashlake!     It’s no secret that the Baby Boomers have been influencing trends for decades. What’s interesting now is that they’re reshaping entire communities as they retire!     A recent article in the Chesterfield Observer tracked how the wave of 55 and up homebuyers is reconfiguring local suburbs, from the arrival of active adult communities – like Cornerstone’s Villas at Ashlake – to the construction of outpatient health centers and shopping centers.
