The best summer activities to engage in are those close to home. Exploring adventures and events in your community has many benefits. You can save money, maximize comfort by using your own home as your base of operations, and maximize your time to explore by reducing travel time.
If you’re looking for a new home, it’s wise to choose one that’s near attractions and interests you want to take part in. If you live in one of these perfectly located Craftmark communities, you can enjoy their attractions all summer long.

While at The Village at Cabin Branch, our newly designed floor plans are built for those 55+ who are ready to age-in-place with endless luxury surrounding them.
Minutes away from major amenities such as Clarksburg Village Center, parks, and trails, you can enjoy the summer immersed in nature and familiar entertainment.
