Who Owns Everleigh?

Everleigh operates under Greystar's corporate sustainability framework.

Energy Efficiency: Everleigh communities incorporate energy-efficient building design, including LED lighting, efficient HVAC systems, and energy-rated appliances. These features reduce operating costs and environmental impact while lowering utility costs for residents.

Accessible Design: Everleigh communities incorporate accessible design principles and universal design features that accommodate diverse mobility needs, including wider doorways, step-free entries, and accessible common areas.

Community Programming: Everleigh emphasizes social connection through organized activities, clubs, fitness classes, and events designed to build community among residents. This programming addresses social isolation, a significant concern among older adults living alone.

Green Building: Greystar incorporates green building standards across its development portfolio, including sustainable materials, water-efficient landscaping, and waste reduction during construction. Everleigh communities participate in these programs.

Pricing and Affordability: Everleigh's upscale positioning places rents above conventional apartment rates, which has drawn some criticism regarding the affordability of active adult rental housing. Critics note that the gap between market-rate apartments and active adult communities like Everleigh can exclude middle-income seniors who do not qualify for subsidized housing but cannot afford premium rents.

Age-Restricted Housing Concerns: Age-restricted communities (55+) have been subject to debate regarding social segregation by age. Some urban planners and sociologists argue that age-restricted developments reduce intergenerational interaction and contribute to age-based segregation in housing. Everleigh and other active adult brands respond that their communities provide amenities and social programming specifically designed for the 55+ demographic, and that residents choose these communities voluntarily.

HOA and Lease Terms: As rental communities, Everleigh properties operate under lease agreements that include community rules and age verification requirements. Some residents have raised concerns about lease terms, rent increases at renewal, and community rules governing guests, pets, and modifications.

Real Estate Development Disputes: Like all real estate developers, Greystar has faced occasional community opposition to new Everleigh developments, typically related to zoning, density, traffic, and impact on local infrastructure. These disputes are common in residential development and are not specific to the Everleigh brand.
