Americans Value More Leisure Time

If there’s one thing these challenging times continue to instill in us, it’s to not take life for granted and to spend more time doing what we love. When was the last time you sat on your porch and chatted with a neighbor? When was the last time you played a game with your significant other after dinner? When was the last time you sat in your bathtub and read a book? If you don’t know the answer to these questions it sounds like you would make a great candidate to transition to maintenance-free living at The Cottages at Village Green in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin!

I felt very secure to move here because I didn’t want an apartment style condo and my entire checklist was fulfilled. It’s perfect for me and the camaraderie in the neighborhood is great,” shared Kathy Norris, Owner of the Second Unit Built at the Cottages at Village Green.
