What is Oxford Greens?

The Bridges at Oxford Greens is one neighborhood within that larger community. EG Home is developing attached homes there, giving you the option to buy new construction inside an established 55+ environment.
Residents are subject to both a master homeowners association and a neighborhood homeowners association.

What Makes The Bridges at Oxford Greens Different?
The Bridges combines brand-new EG Home construction with access to an established active-adult community. You can choose a newly built home while gaining access to recreational spaces, social programming, and community features already available at Oxford Greens.
The neighborhood is designed for adults aged 55 and older and supports a lower-maintenance lifestyle. Features include:
- Access to Oxford Greens recreation and social amenities
- A full-time lifestyle director
- Resident events and excursions
- Public golf with a separate priority-pass option

You can join organized activities when they fit your interests or keep your schedule more private. The floor plans add another layer of flexibility inside the home.
What Floor Plans Are Available at The Bridges?
The Bridges offers attached-home layouts ranging from streamlined single-level living to a larger plan with more flexible space. Your best fit depends on how much room you want for work, hobbies, guests, storage, and everyday routines. For instance:
Bethpage
The Bethpage floor plan offers approximately 1,955 square feet with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Its layout emphasizes single-level living, keeping the main everyday spaces on one floor.
That arrangement can make daily routines simpler while still giving you dedicated bedroom and living areas. It may also suit you if you prefer to use your square footage efficiently rather than maintain extra rooms you do not expect to use often.
Pinehurst
The Pinehurst floor plan offers approximately 2,536 square feet with two bedrooms, 2.1 bathrooms, a two-car garage, and a first-level office.
The added space can support working from home, hobbies, overnight guests, or a greater degree of separation between activities. The office also gives you a dedicated work or project area without taking over a bedroom.
Homesites and Personalization
Available homesites give you another way to narrow your choices, and EG Home's Design Center may allow you to select finishes or other options depending on construction progress.
Personalization depends on the specific home and stage of construction. Ask which structural choices and finish selections remain open before reserving a homesite or quick move-in home.
Once the floor plan fits your routine, the shared amenities shape how much of your day can extend beyond your front door.

Residents at The Bridges receive access to Oxford Greens community amenities centered on recreation, wellness, and social connection. You can stay active, spend time with neighbors, or use shared spaces when they suit your schedule.
The range of options makes it easier to build variety into your routine without leaving the community for every activity.

The clubhouse serves as a gathering place for community activities, while a full-time lifestyle director coordinates events and excursions throughout the month.
You can participate as much or as little as you prefer. Organized programming gives you convenient opportunities to meet people without requiring you to build your schedule around community events.
Low-Maintenance Living
The HOA structure supports the lower-maintenance lifestyle associated with the community. Specific exterior or property services can vary, so review current association documents before relying on any particular maintenance responsibility being covered.
Ask for an updated breakdown of HOA services, fees, owner obligations, and neighborhood rules.
Can Residents Golf at Oxford Greens?
Yes. Residents can use the Golf Club at Oxford Greens as a public facility, but golf is not automatically included with homeownership at The Bridges. Residents may purchase an annual priority access pass for discounted greens fees and priority tee times.
The club features an 18-hole championship course designed by Mark A. Mungeam, along with a natural-grass tee driving range beside the club facilities. The golf club restaurant is also a public facility.
If golf is part of your routine, ask for current pass pricing, tee-time policies, and club details before buying. That lets you evaluate the cost based on how often you expect to play.
How Are Homes at The Bridges Designed for Better Performance?
Homes at The Bridges are built to Zero Energy Ready standards, include solar panels, and meet EPA Indoor airPLUS requirements. These features are intended to support energy efficiency, comfort, ventilation, moisture management, and long-term performance.
The technical standards translate into practical building choices that affect how the home uses energy and manages indoor conditions.
Zero Energy Ready Construction
Zero Energy Ready homes are designed to meet a higher level of energy-efficiency performance than conventional baseline construction. The approach addresses areas such as insulation, air sealing, the building envelope, and mechanical systems.
Your energy use will still depend on household habits, weather, equipment use, and utility rates. The standard supports stronger performance without promising a specific monthly savings amount.
Solar Included
Solar panels are included with homes at The Bridges. They can reduce reliance on grid-supplied electricity, although the effect on your utility bills depends on energy use, solar production, rates, and property-specific factors.
Included solar also means you do not have to begin with a separate solar installation after moving in.
Indoor Air Quality
EPA Indoor airPLUS standards address areas such as ventilation, moisture control, filtration, and reducing exposure to certain indoor pollutants.
For you, that means indoor air quality is considered during construction. Planned ventilation and moisture management can also support the long-term condition of the home.
If you want these features without waiting through the full construction process, a quick move-in home may be a practical option.
Are Quick Move-In Homes Available at The Bridges?
Yes. The Bridges offers quick move-in homes along with new homesites. A quick move-in home is already under construction or completed, which can shorten the timeline compared with starting at an earlier stage.
This option may suit you if you have a defined moving window or prefer to see a home that is further along before deciding. A new homesite may offer more opportunity to make selections when the construction stage allows it.
Check with the EG Home sales team for current:
- Quick move-in inventory
- Available homesites
- Pricing
- Estimated completion timelines
- Remaining structural or finish selections
- Floor plan availability
Those details help you compare timing, personalization, and budget across available purchase options.
