"The good news is, my mother lives in my backyard!"
🎬 Watch this three-part series of video shorts: Karen shares how one conversation about her mother's future became the beginning of a wonderful new chapter — and introduces us to Judy, her newest neighbor.
If there's one thing we've learned from the people who call The Pinehills home, it's that everyone has a story. No two are exactly alike, which is why there are so many ways to live here. Whether it's a single-family home, a condominium, or a luxury apartment, every story has a place.
On a recent walk with Karen Grey, we found one of those stories. When Karen and her mother, Judy, began talking about what came next, Karen introduced her to the place she had come to know and love: The Pinehills. And now... they're neighbors. ❤️
Judy had a wonderful home in Duxbury. She'd put the work into making it right for the long term, and she had every intention of staying. But a hard winter, the big house, and a neighborhood that had changed over time, left her feeling disconnected. The daily sense of connection and friendship she wanted just wasn't there anymore. At The Pinehills, she rediscovered it in Birdsong, right next door to her daughter.
If Karen's name sounds familiar, you may know her as President & Executive Director of Wildlands Trust. For years, Karen has helped protect the natural beauty of Plymouth and the open spaces that bring people together, including the open space that is so much of what defines The Pinehills. (If you haven't visited Wildlands, consider adding it to your summer to-do list.)
Some stories begin with a new job. Others with retirement. Some start when children arrive, and others when they're grown with families of their own. For some, it's about simplifying. For others, it's about finding a home that's a better fit for the life they're living now. There's no single path, just the right one for you. We like to call it right-sizing.
And at The Pinehills, you never have to leave when your life changes. Neighborhoods like Birdsong offer single-level living on a park with outdoor spaces designed for connection. Luxury apartments and condominium living make daily life carefree. Some homes offer space for multiple generations for families who want to stay close. And Laurelwood provides independent living, assisted living, and memory care. All right here, with the same access to the places and activities you enjoy, surrounded by the friends and neighbors who already know you.
What people often discover is that, while every story is different, life at The Pinehills is about much more than choosing a home. Walkable neighborhoods, miles of trails, The Village Green, and the everyday moments that become meaningful ones have a way of keeping life richer and, in the very best way, a whole lot busier.
