The Triangle has become one of the Southeast’s most appealing places to retire or right-size, with a growing number of 55+ active-adult communities. Here are some of the standouts — several of them clustered in the booming Chatham Park area near Pittsboro.

The national leader in active-adult living, Del Webb at Chatham Park offers low-maintenance single-story ranch homes, a 20,000-square-foot clubhouse, indoor and outdoor pools, and a full lifestyle calendar.
Encore at Chatham Park
Encore is the boutique alternative — an intimate 55+ community with low-maintenance homes, a fitness center, resort-style pool, and a meditation garden.
Asteria — Storyliving by Disney
Now under construction, Asteria is Disney’s 1,500-acre 55+ community at Chatham Park, planned with custom homes, a wellness center, and miles of trails.
