Encore Atlantic Shores
By WCI Communities

I visited Encore Atlantic Shores by WCI recently and found the model homes and gated retirement community for over 55 to be breathtaking. The community is on the Eastern end of Long Island (Eastport) where the scenery becomes quite pastoral. It is very flat and dotted with farms. As if the community wasn't enough, it is really all about the area.

Note: Recent Update: WCI Communities on 8/4/08 released a news release stating they had filed Chapter 11. Here is the number for further information: 800-924-1890. Go to their website also at www.wcicommunities.com. The company has communities in several states including many in Florida.

If I was retired and had my choice, this is the way I would want life to be. The beaches of the South Shore are very close, upscale restaurants nearby in the Hamptons, variety of things to do nearby without big traffic jams, occasional trips to New York City, and an exclusive and private ambience. People come to this bucolic area for its beaches, parks and restaurants and leave dreaming of living here.

The community of Encore Atlantic Shores is definitely for those who can afford this luxury. Everything is relative, and while the prices range from the 500's and upwards, they still do not reach into the millions that some properties close to the area are capable of receiving. So I guess you could call this a good value for this area, if you are in this price range. (Please seek current advice from local Realtors and do your own market analysis.)

The community has 6 models to view. (Please verify all information with the sales office as it can change.) The pool and clubhouse are finished and beautifully landscaped. We loved the community, the experienced builder, the location, and everything about it. Call them for an appointment at 631-325-1616.

Notice the seat in the separate shower and detail of the design.

While I love this copper sink, it may not be a standard feature. Check with salesperson which features in the homes are standard and which are the luxury options that cost extra.
