Why Early Movers Thrive at Prairie Landing in Fort Wayne, Indiana

At Prairie Landing, we believe retirement should be less about slowing down and more about stepping into the lifestyle you’ve always wanted. As an active adult community in Fort Wayne, Indiana, Prairie Landing is designed for adults 55+ who are ready to simplify, socialize, and thrive.

And those who move early? They’re the ones enjoying the most of what this vibrant community has to offer.

1. Embrace the Lifestyle—While You’re Young at Heart

Why wait to start living your best life? At Prairie Landing, early movers get to:

  • Enjoy walking trails, pickleball courts, fitness classes, and wellness events
  • Attend social gatherings, happy hours, and themed community parties
  • Participate in interest groups, educational sessions, and volunteer opportunities
  • Explore all that Fort Wayne has to offer—from restaurants and shops to parks and festivals

This is where fun, freedom, and friendship come together in a community built just for you.

2. Ditch the Maintenance, Keep the Independence

Early residents love trading the responsibilities of homeownership for a life of ease at Prairie Landing:

  • Lawn care, snow removal, and exterior maintenance are all taken care of
  • Modern single-story villas with attached garages mean no stairs—and no worries
  • More time to travel, relax, or focus on the things that bring you joy

Here, you’re not just downsizing—you’re upgrading your lifestyle.

3. Choose Your Ideal Home First

The earlier you move, the more options you have. Prairie Landing offers:

  • Spacious, thoughtfully designed floor plans with upscale finishes
  • Opportunities to choose your preferred location within the community
  • The chance to personalize your home before construction is complete (during pre-sales or early phases)

Secure your spot before the best lots are gone—don’t wait for Phase 2 to make your move.

4. Be Part of Something from the Start

When you move early, you help shape the culture of the community. At Prairie Landing, that means:

  • Making fast friends with neighbors who are starting this exciting new chapter alongside you
  • Helping create clubs, groups, and traditions that reflect your interests
  • Building a true sense of community from the ground up

Your next chapter isn’t just about where you live—it’s about who you share it with.

5. Live with Purpose and Possibility

Prairie Landing supports your goals, passions, and well-being. As part of the BHI family, we embrace the Living on Purpose philosophy, which emphasizes eight dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, creative, environmental, and purposeful living.

By moving early, you can:

  • Stay active and engaged in meaningful ways
  • Cultivate new interests and rediscover old ones
  • Enjoy a lifestyle that reflects who you are—and who you want to be
