Five Great Reasons to Live in a Planned Community

There are countless reasons to choose to live in a planned community like Ten Trails. Here are just a few of the reasons why you should consider Ten Trails as your new hometown!

Beautiful Landscape Design

Ten Trails has partnered with Pacific Landscape Management to create lush and beautiful landscape designs throughout the community’s parks, neighborhoods, and open spaces. Ten Trails has two major community parks that are landscaped and maintained by Pacific Landscape Management, as well as smaller parks scattered throughout the community.

Connect with Other New Neighbors

Making friends and connecting with new neighbors is easy in a planned community like Ten Trails where new neighbors are constantly joining the community from local cities as well as from around the country. Whether you are moving into a new home to raise your new family, or settling into an “empty nester” home, chances are there are plenty of other residents like you who are looking to meet new neighbors. Connect via the community Facebook group, through resident activities like yoga in the park, or at one of our community events.

Walkability

Ten Trails has miles of paved and unpaved walking trails to enjoy. Walking paths weave through parks, open spaces, and neighborhoods, and our trails connect our wooded natural spaces. Enjoy walking, biking, jogging, and more all within the community.

Amenities

At Ten Trails, we have a wide variety of amenities to suit residents of every age. This includes sports courts and equipment as well as walking trails, jungle gyms, pea patches, a kids’ zip-line, a performance stage, and many other fantastic amenities! As the community grows, more amenities will be added for residents to enjoy.

Enjoy a Sense of Community

Ten Trails’ developer envisioned a community where residents could come together to enjoy and connect with their community and to each other. The community was planned to include amenities, park spaces, and community events meant to bring residents and the public together to enjoy gorgeous spaces inspired by nature. www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043  

Meet the Alegado Family – Ten Trails’ 500^th Family 

Meet the Alegado family, new residents in Ten Trails and our 500^th family to move into the community! Gideon and Katrina Alegado and their two teenage children move to Ten Trails in June from nearby Maple Valley and are loving their new Oakridge Homes home and the lifestyle offered in the community.

Home Shopping Remotely During the Pandemic 

Like many families, it became obvious to the Alegados during pandemic stay-at-home orders that they needed more room for their family. With their kids now teenagers and Gideon and Katrina working from home, they quickly realized their 1,660 square-foot home in Maple Valley, while cozy, just was not well-suited for the family any longer. The Alegados started their search for a new home online during the pandemic and they first toured their current home virtually while vacationing at a friend’s home in Hawaii.

“We were looking at photos of the house literally from the beach and then we made an offer the next day, sight unseen,” said Katrina. “A few days later we were signing paperwork on our friend’s patio overlooking the ocean.”

 

More Space to Spread Out in a Growing Community

As they get settled in a big and beautiful 2,800-square-foot home, the Alegados joke that they sometimes cannot find one another.

  “I’m sure it will fill up, but right now it feels massive,” said Gideon.

  The family is eager to explore all the amenities Ten Trails offers, like the many parks and green spaces, sports courts, and community pea patches.

  “We’ve been out on the trails many times,” said Katrina who enjoys walking the family’s dog, Echo, on the miles of nature trails.

    The Alegados are also looking forward to meeting more of their neighbors at upcoming community events, like the Sunset Markets.    

“We are so excited and honored to be recognized in this way and looking forward to settling in,” said Gideon.  

Welcome to the neighborhood, Alegados! We are so happy you chose Ten Trails as your new hometown. www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043

Ten Trails Offers Pea Patches for Residents as One of Many Community Amenities

One of the huge benefits of living in a master planned community is access to community amenities! At Ten Trails, we have a wide variety of amenities to suit residents of every age. From playgrounds to pea patches, our residents have their pick of community features to enhance their lifestyle.

Community Pea Patches at Ten Trails

Some of the most popular amenities at Ten Trails are our community pea patches! Residents can opt to rent a pea patch plot for the spring/summer season to grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and flowers. With 2021 being the first official year our pea patches have been in use, it has been great fun to see all the different varieties of plants our residents are growing.

Benefits of Community Pea Patches

Our pea patches are a space where residents can come together to grow community and plan, plant, and maintain a piece of open space. As one of many gathering spaces in Ten Trails, our pea patches help strengthen the community by fostering connections and serve as a point of pride amongst residents.

More Pea Patches Coming for the 2022 Growing Season

Ten Trails will have more pea patches available for resident rental beginning early 2022. If you are a resident who is interested in renting a pea patch, contact your HOA manager, Jodi Kay, at hoa@tentrails.com for details. www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043  

Three Ten Trails Community Amenities You Should be Using this Spring 

Ten Trails has many community amenities for residents and the public to use including our award-winning Civic Park and miles of trails to explore. Here are three Ten Trails amenities that you must check out this spring:

Ten Trails Community Fire Pits 

Something magical happens while sitting around a fire with friends and family that does not happen in other situations. In this time when there is a huge emphasis on virtual connections and reliance on technology for socialization, an old-fashioned fireside chat with family and neighbors is the perfect low-tech way to reconnect. Ten Trails has fire pits for residents to use scattered throughout the community.

Ten Trails Community Ping Pong Table

Did you know Ten Trails has an outdoor ping pong table for residents to use? Grab a ball and some paddles and challenge your neighbors to a game! Ping Pong is a great activity to keep you fit, get you outside this spring, and is by nature a socially-distanced activity to do with others.

Ten Trails Community Bocce Ball Courts

Ten Trails’ bocce ball courts are located in Civic Park near the performance pavilion. If you are not familiar with the game, there is a sign posted next to the courts with instructions on how to play. All you need for a great time outdoors this spring is one other player and a bocce ball set www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043

New Trails and Amenities on their Way

Enjoy New Parks and Additions to the Community

Ten Trails has been busy over the past several months adding on to our amazing network of parks in the community. We recently opened Big Rock Park just southeast of the Village Green and improved our Civic Park by adding a brand new zipline!

Opening of Big Rock Park

The vision for Ten Trails is that, when complete,  there will be a park within walking distance to every home. In keeping with this vision, we have continued to open new parks as the community grows. Recently we completed a new park located across from the new JK Monarch lots. Big Rock Park features kids’ play equipment including a jungle gym a swing set, our new community pea patches, a play lawn, and a large boulder found on site that was the inspiration for the new park’s name.

New Zipline in Civic Park

We are excited to share that we have installed a new zipline in Civic Park! This new Speedway Zipline was manufactured in Germany and measures 64’ in length. This particular model is heavily used in city parks across the globe. We ask that in order to keep the zipline functioning properly, users observe the weight limit set for it, which is 175 lbs., and only one person may use the zipline at a time. Have fun! www.TenTrails.com 360.469.4043
