Over a decade of research went into the initial planning of Golden Spike Estates. Over 68 Active Adult Retirement Communities were visited and dissected to get to the design needs and features that now makes up Golden Spike Estates, the Inland Empires best 55+ Active Adult Community Lifestyle in both Washington and Idaho. The design was structured to create a Active Adult Community where residents could best “Age in Place”. Keep the 55+ Community amenities in the scope of wide use and the home construction to accommodate the natural aging process that we all one day will need to adapt to.

A balanced blend of Social and Recreational amenities and programs are available for all residents-their friends and immediate family. We first wanted to meet the needs for a healthy lifestyle where low impact exercise facilities are abundant. Via the research of many 55 plus Active Adult Communities, we found that a substantial exercise room loaded with easy to manage and use equipment best fit the workout room. Golden Spike Estates workout room includes over 15 pieces of equipment in over 1100 sq. ft. room dedicated to this feature with TV to entertain. After a hard low impact workout-our 55+ active seniors can then enjoy the warm water aerobic lap swimming pool, sauna and large Jacuzzi jetted tub to further their exercise routine and to stretch out those exercised muscles. A sun deck off the pool makes for an enjoyable relaxing area to soak up some sun rays-have a cool drink and take in the fresh clean air of North Idaho.

Other outside low impact exercise and social features include, but not limited to our new 9 hole golf chip course, horseshoe pits, fire pit-outdoor BBQ area and soon to be installed outside volleyball court and basketball shooting areas. The 7 acre people park and ½ acre pet park makes for lots of walking and exercise for everyone without the worry of congestion in our Active Senior Community in Idaho.

Inside social features include many meeting rooms-ballroom with kitchen for various sized groups to be used by our residents for family reunions-birthday parties-anniversaries-holiday parties-potlucks-ice cream socials- Super Bowl parties and much more! Our 55+ Active Adult Community is loaded with space to entertain and have room for art classes-jewelry making-sewing-billiards-library & movie room-internet computer lab (community offers a FREE WiFi Internet Signal to ALL HOMES)-big screen TV's-gas fireplace-resident beauty salon, and much-much more.

Home designs are constructed to keep energy savings at its best with energy heeled roof trusses, higher insulation values and triple vapor barriers on all exterior walls. The outside of the home is finished to keep outside home maintenance to an absolute minimum while presenting a great looking home with superior products. Further accommodations in our 55+ Active Adult construction is building over a deeper crawlspace to eliminate ALL steps and to create a much warmer floor system. Add in our now standard heated driveways and sidewalk system to the front door of all new homes, and full low maintenance landscape with under ground sprinkler systems, we are providing what most 55 Plus Community residents demand and deserve. Low maintenance to free up time for more fun, reduce living costs, and live in a home that is designed for the day when physical lightening strikes each and every one of us. Wider doors-No Steps- Low Step Showers with Low Exterior Maintenance is our standard in every Golden Spike Estates Home!
