What is a Lifestyle Community
A lifestyle community typically refers to a community that caters to a specific interest or activity. For example, communities built around a golf course are considered a lifestyle community catering to lovers of the sport. There are many different types of lifestyle communities, but living in the Triangle, you’re likely to find:
- Lifestyle communities for golfers
- 55+ lifestyle communities

- Tennis lifestyle community
- Green-focused lifestyle communities
Of course, this list isn’t exhaustive of all lifestyle communities. If there’s a certain type you’re interested in living in, our Triangle area experts are available to find the type of community that fits your preferences.
In the Triangle, you’ll find communities like MacGregor Villas and Prestonwood Country Club, which are known for their golf; Pearson Farms and its beautiful pool and tennis court; and Del Webb at Traditions, which boasts a stocked fitness center and indoor swimming pool.
Why Live in a Lifestyle Community?
When you call somewhere home, you want to feel like you belong. The best way to do this is to find a community that shares your interests, and there’s no better way than to live in a lifestyle community.
Lifestyle communities often have events surrounding the focused activity or interest, such as golf or tennis tournaments. It’s an opportunity for friendly competition, which is bound to develop close friendships with your neighbors.
As a bonus, many lifestyle communities are also gated or have a 24-hour manned guard station. They also tend to be HOA communities, which means manicured grounds, regular equipment upkeep, and more.
