Backyard

The putting green runs along the side yard with a colorful painted block wall behind it — two holes, real flags, and enough surface to actually practice your short game. It shows up in almost every family review.

There's a Traeger on the patio and an outdoor dining set under the pergola. String lights overhead. The rope sofa stays in the shade through most of the afternoon, which is exactly when you want it. Mornings go fast; evenings stretch out.

Community pool is steps away. Private hot tub is around back with lighting for the nights when the kids are down and the backyard finally belongs to you.
