If you already live in Raynham, you know what makes this town work: the ease of Route 44, the quiet of the residential neighborhoods, the proximity to everything without the congestion of anywhere. You may also know that Thorndike Development’s Larkwood community is right here in town, along the Taunton River—and while Larkwood is a multi-generational community, it has become a popular choice for active adults who want to stay in Raynham while moving to a home that works better for this stage of life.
For buyers who specifically want a dedicated 55+ community, Thorndike’s Featherwinds in Halifax is about 15 minutes away. Together, these two communities give Raynham-area adults over 55 the best of both worlds: stay in the town you know, or move to a nearby community purpose-built for active living.
Larkwood is not a 55+ community—it is open to all ages—but it has become a strong draw for Raynham residents who are downsizing from larger homes in town. The reasons are straightforward: it is in Raynham, so nothing about your daily life needs to change. Your doctors, your pharmacy, your favorite restaurants, your friends—they are all still right here.
Two Larkwood floor plans are particularly well suited for buyers over 55:
The Hickory ($584,000, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1,671 sq ft) — Ground-floor single-level living with a private patio and garage. Everything you need is on one floor—bedroom, kitchen, living room, laundry. No stairs to climb, ever. This is Larkwood’s most popular plan among active adult buyers.
The Chestnut (2 bedrooms, single-level on the upper floor) — Open-concept living with cathedral ceilings, a deck overlooking open space, and a ground-floor bonus room that can serve as a craft space, workshop, or storage. You access your home via the entry level and take the interior stairs once; after that, everything is on a single floor.
Both plans include quartz or granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, hardwood flooring, handset tile backsplashes, and professionally designed cabinetry. Thorndike’s Director of Interior Design works with you to select every finish.
Beyond staying in town, Larkwood appeals to active adults for its riverside amenities. The canoe and kayak launch puts you on the Taunton River—a beautiful, calm stretch of water ideal for morning paddles. Walking trails through the woods lead toward Massasoit State Park. The community garden’s raised beds let you keep gardening without the strain of a full yard. And the condominium structure means exterior maintenance, landscaping, and snow removal are handled for you.
For Raynham residents who spent years maintaining a house and a yard, the shift is liberating. You keep the town, the location, and the lifestyle. You let go of the roof repairs, the gutters, and the Saturday morning mowing.
If you specifically want an age-restricted community—where every neighbor is in a similar stage of life and the amenities are designed exclusively for active adults—Featherwinds in Halifax is about 15 minutes from Raynham via Route 106.
This 102-unit community features elevator-served condominiums from 1,027 to 1,596 square feet, priced from $439,000 to $589,000. The elevator access is the defining feature: no stairs anywhere, from the parking area to your front door. For buyers who want the absolute simplest, most convenient home possible, this is it.
Amenities include a pool and four-season poolhouse, four pickleball courts, a community garden, a dog park, a central green, and the new Halifax Senior Center being built on Thorndike-donated land at the community entrance. The center will provide wellness programs, fitness classes, lectures, a book club, and social events managed by professional staff—a built-in social infrastructure that many 55+ communities promise but few actually deliver.
Thorndike Development has been building homes in Massachusetts since 1983 and has a particular depth of experience in the 55+ market. The company built Red Mill Village in Norton (“Best in the Nation” from NAHB), Greatbrook in Norton, WestRidge in Hudson, approximately 100 homes at The Pinehills in Plymouth, and Sawyer’s Reach and Summer Reach in Plymouth (350 senior homes sold over five years). Featherwinds and Larkwood represent the latest generation of that expertise.
For Raynham buyers, the personal touch matters. Thorndike is a locally owned company where the founder, Lloyd Geisinger, was named Builder of the Year by the Greater Boston Association of Homebuilders. The senior team—construction, design, customer service—has been in place for 18 to 35 years. When you buy a Thorndike home, you are buying from people who will still be there when you need them, not from a corporate entity that rotates staff every few years.
Yes. Larkwood is located in Raynham and offers single-level plans popular with buyers over 55. While it is not age-restricted, many active adults choose Larkwood specifically because it allows them to stay in town.
Larkwood’s single-level Hickory plan starts from $584,000 (1,671 sq ft with garage). Featherwinds starts from $439,000 (1,027 sq ft elevator condo). The trade-off is generally more space and river access at Larkwood versus elevator convenience, pickleball, and a dedicated 55+ community at Featherwinds.
No. Larkwood is open to all ages. Its single-level plans attract active adults, but you will also have neighbors who are younger families, couples, and professionals. Featherwinds requires at least one household member to be 55 or older.
Larkwood offers a canoe and kayak launch on the Taunton River, walking trails, a community garden, and Massasoit State Park nearby. Featherwinds has a pool, pickleball courts, a community garden, a dog park, and a central green. Both communities emphasize active outdoor living.
Both communities are condominiums. Monthly fees cover exterior maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, and shared amenity upkeep. You are responsible for the interior of your home; everything outside is handled for you.
Raynham residents over 55 have an advantage most buyers do not: a Thorndike community right in your own town. Larkwood’s single-level plans let you stay in Raynham while trading your high-maintenance home for a riverside condo with walking trails and a kayak launch. And if you want a dedicated 55+ experience with elevators, pickleball, and an on-site senior center, Featherwinds is just 15 minutes down the road in Halifax. Either way, you are choosing a builder with seven active adult communities behind it and the local roots to understand exactly what this next chapter should look like.
