As part of The Nationals awards program, NAHB named Traditions of America in Berwyn, Pa., the Builder of the Year and Trilogy® in Country Pointe Plainview Madison in Plainview, N.Y., the For-Sale Community. The awards were presented during the 2022 International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Fla., to showcase quality housing, innovation and emerging trends that appeal to the mature demographic.

Traditions of America has served the 55+ market for 25 years, focusing exclusively on age-qualified communities. It pioneered “close-to-home” active-adult communities, allowing Americans to find the perfect home within their existing community. Its communities offer full customization for 55+ residents, while maintaining the value proposition of a production builder, and feature five-star amenity packages not often seen in smaller, midsized communities.

“Traditions of America embraces new concepts and ideas to help deliver beautifully crafted homes and exciting amenities to engage a variety of prospective 55+ home owners,” said Jennifer Landers, chair of NAHB’s 55+ Housing Industry Council and vice president of operations at Kolter Signature Homes, LLC, in Georgia.

At 143 acres, Country Pointe Plainview Madison is the largest lifestyle community in New York’s Nassau County. The community is designed in harmony with the surrounding residential area to provide a maintenance-free lifestyle for its residents. Amenities include a 29,000 square-foot clubhouse, two pools, spa, and retail plaza, as well as a two-mile walking trail connecting the community to a state park and 57 acres of recreational open space.

“The Country Pointe Plainview Madison homes offer intentional design and privacy for residents, while providing features and amenities that feel custom fit for each new owner,” said Landers.
