The Cottage Life: Embracing Winter Warmth in Westfield

There is a distinct charm to Westfield in the winter. It’s a community that feels peaceful and grounded, yet full of life. At Cottages at Sanders Glen, our residents get to experience the best of that balance. With our unique cottage-style architecture, you get the feeling of a private home with all the conveniences of a managed community.

As we welcome the new year, we want to help you settle in and savor the season. Here is your guide to creating a cozy sanctuary, exploring the trails with neighbors, and letting our amenities make life a little sweeter this winter.

"Hygge" with a Modern Cottage Twist

The Danish concept of "Hygge"—that feeling of cozy contentment—feels like it was made for our community. Because our homes feature cottage-style designs rather than traditional apartment hallways, you already have a head start on creating a warm, inviting atmosphere.

• The Heart of the Home: Winter is the perfect time for baking and comfort cooking. Your open-concept kitchen, featuring sparkling quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, is designed to be the center of activity. The ample counter space makes it easy to spread out holiday leftovers or host a small, intimate dinner party.
• Warm Foundations: The luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout your living areas provides a beautiful, wood-like aesthetic that anchors the room. It’s durable enough for winter boots but looks incredibly warm when paired with a thick, soft area rug.
• Sun-Soaked Spaces: One of the best ways to beat the winter blues is natural light. Our homes are designed with an abundance of windows. arranging your favorite reading chair near a sunny window allows you to soak up the Vitamin D while staying toasty warm inside—a simple daily ritual that boosts your mood instantly.

Connecting on the Trail

One of the biggest perks of living at Sanders Glen is that nature is your neighbor. Even in the colder months, our connection to the outdoors brings people together.

• Midland Trace Trail: Having this trail right at your doorstep is a lifestyle game-changer. It serves as a community thoroughfare where you are bound to cross paths with other residents getting their steps in. A friendly wave to a neighbor walking their dog on a crisp morning is a hallmark of the Sanders Glen experience.
• Grand Junction Plaza: We are located just a short stroll or bike ride from this incredible community hub. It’s a perfect spot to meet up with friends or simply be around others. Suggesting a quick meetup at the Plaza for a winter walk is a low-pressure, high-reward way to build connections in the neighborhood.

Amenities That Feel Like Luxuries

In winter, "convenience" becomes a form of self-care. We have designed our amenities to solve the specific challenges of the season so you don’t have to.

• The Garage Advantage: For many of our residents, the attached garage is the ultimate winter amenity. There is nothing quite like the feeling of hopping into a dry, snow-free car on a freezing morning. It makes your daily commute or grocery run infinitely more comfortable.
• A Spa-Like Retreat: When the temperature drops, nothing beats a hot shower or bath to warm up. Your bathroom features the same beautiful quartz countertops found in the kitchen, offering a sleek, clean, and calming space to unwind after a long day in the cold.
• In-Home Essentials: With a washer and dryer included in your home, laundry day is quiet and private. You can keep your winter wardrobe fresh without ever leaving your cottage.

We are thrilled you chose to make your home at Cottages at Sanders Glen. Here’s to a season filled with warmth, comfort, and plenty of "cottage core" vibes!
