WASHINGTON, D.C. – (RealEstateRama) — The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) announced the finalists for its 2019 Best of 55+ Housing Awards, the premier design and marketing competition for the 55+ housing industry. A total of 116 entries were chosen as finalists and are eligible for either a gold or silver award from NAHB’s 55+ Housing Industry Council.

“Many of this year’s finalists are focusing on amenities and lifestyle, like outdoor living and entertainment spaces and the inclusion of larger garages to house recreational vehicles,” said Chuck Ellison, chairman of NAHB’s 55+ Housing Industry Council and Vice President-Land of Miller & Smith in McLean, Va. “We are also seeing fresh and contemporary senior living designs, which help with attracting new residents in this competitive market.”

Finalists were selected from entries in 43 categories representing single-family homes, rental housing, service-enriched housing, lifestyle features that 55+ buyers look for and marketing activity, plus four categories representing individuals and firms.

NAHB’s 55+ Housing Council launched the Best of 55+ Housing Awards to encourage quality and innovation in the 55+ housing market. The council provides information, education and networking opportunities for its members and provides advocacy support to NAHB on key 55+ housing issues. The awards program is sponsored by RMF, BSB Design, KTGY Architecture + Planning, Builders Design, Mary DeWalt Design Group and Generac.
