"The success of Cascades at Embrey Mill can be attributed to a combination of thoughtful design, high-quality construction, and a focus on community", Hyde remarked.
Stafford, VA - Dec 3, 2024 - Miller & Smith, a leading homebuilder in Northern Virginia, proudly announces the closeout of its highly successful 55+ neighborhood, Cascades at Embrey Mill. This exclusive enclave, part of the larger Embrey Mill lifestyle community, was designed specifically for active adults seeking a new stage of living. The neighborhood offers main-level living villa homes and exclusive amenities tailored to meet the needs of the 55+ demographic.

As a testament to the community's continued success, Miller & Smith was recognized for its outstanding design and architecture at Cascades at Embrey Mill, winning two prestigious awards at the 2023 Greater American Living Awards (GALA) hosted by the Virginia Building Industry Association's Washington Metropolitan Sales & Marketing Council. Miller & Smith received the Best Design & Architecture Award for the community's villa homes and the Best Interior Merchandising Award for the Rainier model, cementing its leadership in delivering quality homes for discerning buyers.
"We saw an opportunity to provide homes for those looking to transition into the next stage of their life. Our villa homes at Cascades allowed current residents to enjoy main-level living while staying in the community they've grown to love," said Tom Hyde, Chief Operating Officer for Miller & Smith. "We also catered to grandparents who wanted to be closer to their grandchildren and to military and government workers nearing retirement who sought a home in a family-friendly environment."

Embrey Mill, with its master-planned amenities and welcoming atmosphere, has become a desirable destination for families, and the Cascades neighborhood further expanded the appeal of the community by targeting an active adult audience. The villa homes were designed with thoughtful features that allow residents to age in place, providing the comfort and accessibility needed for their "forever home."
A key feature of Cascades at Embrey Mill is the exclusive 55+ clubhouse, The Embrey House, a vibrant gathering place for residents. The clubhouse, built by Miller & Smith, includes both indoor and outdoor spaces tailored to the needs of the 55+ community, hosting regular events and fostering a strong sense of community.
"The Embrey House is a focal point for the neighborhood, with activities almost every night. It's incredible to see how active the HOA is and how the clubhouse has become a place where residents gather to enjoy each other's company," said Hyde. "The exterior spaces are just as lively, providing the perfect environment for neighbors to connect."

The success of Cascades at Embrey Mill can be attributed to a combination of thoughtful design, high-quality construction, and a focus on community, Hyde remarked.
"Newland and Brookfield did a fantastic job creating Embrey Mill and it has evolved over time into one of the nicest master-planned communities in Northern Virginia, especially in Stafford," said Hyde. "Our home design, which focused on the needs of the 55+ demographic, helped ensure the success of this project."

Building for a 55+ audience continues to influence Miller & Smith's steady yet evolving approach to home design and community planning. Hyde noted, "What we delivered were quality homes at an affordable price, and the homeowners have expressed how happy they are with both their homes and the neighborhood. It's a great feeling knowing we've created a community where residents can truly enjoy the next stage of their lives."
