Designed for the way you want to live

For adults over age 55, the new Magnolia Meadows neighborhood in Sheffield Village represents all the convenience of active adult living tucked inside a luxury community.

Magnolia Meadows will feature 63 beautifully designed homes in a close-knit neighborhood setting. Homebuyers can choose from five models ranging from 1,580 to 5,000 square feet, with pricing from the mid $400,000s to $1 million-plus.


There comes a point when homeowners begin to look at their homes a little differently.


The stairs that never seemed to matter become a consideration. The rooms filled with decades of belongings can start to feel more burdensome than meaningful. And while moving can be exciting, finding a home that truly feels like an upgrade—not a compromise—can be a challenge.


For Dennis, Jeffrey and Sandra, that search ultimately led them to Magnolia Meadows, the new active lifestyle community by Perrino Lifestyles in Sheffield Village, bordering Avon.


What they found was an opportunity to enjoy a home designed for the way they want to live now.

As the first residents move in, their stories are similar—and just how founder Pat Perrino envisioned the community. “Sometimes, it is not about leaving behind the home you loved,” he says. “It is about discovering the next place that feels just as right.”


A Move Made Easy

When Dennis and his wife relocated from New Hampshire, they wanted a home with quality construction and a design suited to their lifestyle.


Their real estate agent showed them several communities, including a Perrino home. “We could see a spectacular difference between what is offered here and what we saw elsewhere,” Dennis says.


That good impression continued throughout the building process.


“Because we were still living in New Hampshire, the general contractor gave us a call every week at the end of the week to tell us what happened and what they planned on doing the following week,” he says. “They made it very user friendly to design and build a house 750 miles away.”


The couple found a home with plenty of room to spread out, including a basement that offers flexibility.


“It gives you plenty of room to store things,” Dennis says. “As our grandkids come to visit, I can see them learning to roller skate and play down there.”


The extra space means the home can continue to evolve along with the family, whether it is used for storage today or becomes a favorite gathering spot for grandchildren tomorrow.


Discovering Magnolia Meadows

For Jeffrey and Sandra, the search had been going on for years. They loved their colonial home, but they wanted to be proactive about the future. For five or six years, they looked on and off for the right place.


Nothing felt quite right—until they discovered Magnolia Meadows.


“It was a fantastic experience from beginning to end,” Jeffrey says. “Everything is very organized. The steps you go through were just very, very comfortable. It’s a well-oiled machine.”


From the sales team and project managers to the interior design professionals, Jeffrey says every part of the process felt coordinated.


“Pat Perrino is a very seasoned builder, and the whole team was very professional,” he says. 


After decades in their previous home, the couple expected an adjustment period. Instead, they found themselves embracing the freedom that came with simplifying.


“After 35 years in our old home, we thought we would miss it,” Jeffrey says. “But we love the way this was designed. It meets our needs.”


Downsizing didn’t mean giving up storage or comfort. Their new home offers 11 closets, abundant storage and an oversized garage.



“We got rid of things, and, truthfully, there’s not one thing I regret getting rid of,” he says. “I feel very liberated not having all that stuff.”
