The social heart is the Farmhouse amenity center, with a resort-style pool, splash pad, fitness studio, Wi-Fi cafe, dog park, playground, and walking trails, all backed by a lifestyle director who runs a steady calendar of community events. HOA dues vary by section and product type and cover amenity access and grounds upkeep.
