Encore Lake Grove
by WCI
I visited Encore Lake Grove by WCI, a luxury, resort-like retirement community. If you love Long Island and want to retire there, you may like Encore Lake Grove by WCI because there aren't too many active adult retirement communities on Long Island that offer luxury, high-end quality, good value, location, so many outstanding amenities and experienced construction.
The new over 55 community of Encore Lake Grove is now sold out (that was fast) and you need to call them for any resales or rentals available at Encore Lake Grove at their community of Atlantic Shores which still has luxury homes available
(See my Review of Encore Atlantic Shores)
where a sales office is located at 631-325-1616 or contact a local real estate agent. You can still find homes available at Encore Atlantic Shores.
As was promised by WCI, here is the beautiful new fountain at the entrance to Encore Lake Grove. The pool and Clubhouse are also finished for the lucky new residents.
The photo below is now a thing of the past but interesting to review the early stages of construction.

Not Many Retirement Communities Like This on Long Island
Gated Entry
There really aren't many high-quality luxury communities like Encore Lake Grove by WCI readily available on Long Island.
Every experience I have had with WCI reps has been a positive one. I visited Encore Lake Grove by WCI on Long Island, New York, at Lake Grove. I love to hear how the reps talk about WCI--the genuine enthusiasm for their community shines through every time. They are thoroughly knowledgeable and always mention the smallest details about the communities they represent that make a big difference.
I was told about the lake pool! I had never heard of a lake pool before. The pool wasn't built yet when I visited but WCI had a realistic video that showed the undulating and curving design that was unique. I loved it and knew I would want to spend lots of time at this inviting and picturesque pool.
WCI has a 60-year history. They have years of experience and awards in customer service and quality. The landscaping is gorgeous and always beautifully maintained.
Completed Homes
Why This Customer Is Buying
Sharing the preview with me was a customer who stated she was 60 and her husband was 63 and they just couldn't do the snow shoveling and yard maintenance anymore and that was why they were moving. They said they had family in the area and although they considered other states, they did not want to be far from family. Well, here the landscaping, snow shoveling and much more of the townhomes would be taken care of.
Resort-Like Atmosphere
My rep stated that WCI's focus was on providing a carefree, resort-like atmosphere.
Homes are two bedroom, 2.5 bath townhomes from approximately 1390 to 1986 SF. There are 4 townhome designs and the clubhouse is the heart of the community.
Some of the many amenities of Encore Lake Grove by WCI for over age 55, are that it is gated and there is an activities concierge where the rep will determine what activities people are interested in. They have an indoor and an outdoor heated pool, an 8000 SF elegant and luxurious resort-like clubhouse, shuffleboard, tennis courts, putting green, Fitness Center, spa, and catering kitchen.
In addition to being a "stone's throw" from one of the best shopping areas on Long Island (and recently adding more new upscale stores), Encore Lake Grove by WCI is just 50 miles to New York City and 25 miles to the Hamptons. It is near Stony Brook University and 16 miles to Fire Island. This area still maintains a relaxed, country-like feeling. Perfect!
