The Great Street Co. reimagines 55+ living

Mulberry Farms, a unique 55+ rental community created by The Great Street Company, is designed for active adults seeking to engage and connect with neighbors and friends. The homes are perfect for those who desire all that a house has to offer, such as an attached garage, private driveway, extra storage and an enclosed backyard, without the financial burden of ownership. 

Mulberry Farms is the first of many communities Great Street plans to build based on this intentional vision for charm and connection. 

How it all started 

“When we visioned and planned The Great Street Company’s approach to community, we asked ourselves: If Walt Disney were alive today and building a community, what would it look and feel like?” says Dave Grounds, co-founder of The Great Street Company. “We kept coming back to the fact that people want to live in a community that makes them feel good.” 

Charlie Williams, co-founder of The Great Street Company, added, “This notion of making people feel good is the driving idea behind our approach to community. This includes architecturally charming homes, and more than that, crafting a community that promotes socialization and wellness.” 

Breaking the mold 

“What Great Street is doing isn’t the norm,” says Charlie Williams. “We put a lot of time and effort into doing something creative and magical to build synergy and connection at Mulberry Farms.” 

As you enter Mulberry Farms, you’re greeted by The Great Street, lined with white picket fences, rose bush hedges and attractive homes. Each residence features inviting front porches adorned with American flags, exuding an ambience that is both timeless and welcoming.  

Venture further, and you’ll reach The Great Lawn and Barn — two beautiful communal areas where residents gather. These spaces come alive with activity, from casual card games to organized events like music evenings on the lawn. 

Charlie Williams describes the transition into this community as entering a “decel lane.” As you leave the outside world and set foot in Mulberry Farms, your breath slows and your heart feels full — like you’ve arrived home. It’s a simpler way of life. It’s a great way to live.  

Dave Grounds adds, “We’re excited to see our vision come to life at Mulberry Farms. It’s all about traditional Americana neighborhoods that are classically charming, include modern conveniences and offer spaces and opportunities to help create synergy and closeness with your neighbors.”
