The Courtyards at Stonehill Village

Independent Assessment

The age restriction is carefully scoped: Stonehill Village overall is Beavercreek Township's largest residential development, planned for up to 1,835 total housing units (over 1,300 single-family and up to 512 condo/apartment/multi-family units) spanning multiple distinct neighborhoods -- including The Countryside at Stonehill Village and White Barn Trails at Stonehill -- that are ordinary, non-age-restricted single-family subdivisions. The Courtyards at Stonehill Village is one specific 162-home section within that larger masterplan, built by Artisan Communities (Epcon's active-adult-focused subsidiary) and consistently marketed and listed as a 55+ community by 55places and Epcon's own site. Only The Courtyards section is covered here, not the broader Stonehill Village masterplan. One inconsistency worth flagging: reported home square footage varies across sources (1,800-2,400 sq ft per Epcon/55places-aligned sources versus a wider 1,500-3,000 sq ft range per a Dayton Daily News article) -- both figures are reported here rather than resolved in favor of one.

Who May Find This Community Appealing

Buyers who specifically want new-construction, single-level ranch homes with builder-selected finishes -- rather than resale inventory -- and who want to be part of a large, amenity-rich master-planned development (walking trails, an event center, nearby shopping) while still living in an age-restricted section, will find The Courtyards at Stonehill Village appealing. Its 2022 construction start and ongoing build-out mean buyers can likely still select from available lots or quick-move-in inventory.

Homes, Builders & Development History

Artisan Communities, an Epcon Communities subsidiary based in Dublin, Ohio, began construction on The Courtyards at Stonehill Village in 2022, with plans for 162 total single-family ranch homes on a roughly 56-acre section of the larger Stonehill Village masterplan. Homes are single-level designs with private courtyards; reported square footage ranges from 1,800 to 2,400 sq ft per Epcon/55places sources, though a Dayton Daily News article describes a wider 1,500-3,000 sq ft range. Epcon has built active-adult-focused communities for more than 35 years.

Current Pricing & Market Positioning

Pricing is reported starting from $400,000 for new construction, positioning The Courtyards at Stonehill Village among the newer, higher-priced new-construction 55+ options in the Dayton Metro area compared with fully built-out resale communities like Edinburgh Village or The Villas at Beavercreek. Buyers should confirm current base pricing, available lots, and any builder incentives directly with Epcon/Artisan Communities, since new-construction pricing changes over time.

New Construction vs. Resale Considerations

As an active new-construction community with construction begun in 2022 and ongoing as of the last update, buyers should request the current build schedule, available lot map, and any builder warranty terms directly from Epcon/Artisan Communities. Because it sits within the larger multi-phase Stonehill Village development, buyers should also ask how construction traffic and phasing in adjacent non-age-restricted neighborhoods may affect the community over the coming years.

Taxes, Insurance & Special Assessments

Homes at The Courtyards at Stonehill Village are subject to Beavercreek Township and Greene County property tax administration, in addition to any applicable school district levy. Buyers should confirm current property tax figures directly with Greene County's auditor and treasurer offices, and ask about any applicable Ohio senior property tax relief (homestead exemption) programs for which they may qualify.

Community Layout & Lifestyle

The Courtyards at Stonehill Village offers a new-construction, single-level ranch-home lifestyle within a large, amenity-rich master-planned community, with planned recreational amenities including bocce ball and pickleball courts, a putting green, a community garden, and three ponds connected by walking trails, centered on a clubhouse and outdoor pool exclusive to the age-restricted section.

Shopping, Healthcare & Airport Access

The community sits within Beavercreek Township in Greene County, about 13 miles east of Dayton and roughly 20 minutes from downtown Dayton. As part of the larger Stonehill Village masterplan, residents have walking access to planned trails, recreation areas, and an event center, with future shopping planned within the broader development and The Greene Town Center shopping district nearby in Beavercreek proper.

Age Qualification & Material Ownership Restrictions

The Courtyards at Stonehill Village is built by Artisan Communities, an Epcon Communities subsidiary reported to specialize in homes targeted to buyers 55 and older, and is listed as a 55+ community by 55places specifically for Beavercreek Township. No recorded declaration of covenants establishing the specific legal restriction language and verification procedure for the Beavercreek Township/Greene County jurisdiction was independently obtained and reviewed. Buyers should specifically confirm that any lot or listing sits within The Courtyards' age-restricted boundary, not the broader non-age-restricted Stonehill Village masterplan. Ohio's age-restricted-housing framework generally relies on the federal Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) 80/20 occupancy rule; buyers should independently verify this against a primary legal source and confirm the community's exact current age-verification procedure directly with Epcon/Artisan Communities or the HOA.

Tradeoffs & Limitations

Buyers should be careful to confirm that any specific lot, phase, or listing they are considering sits within the age-restricted Courtyards section and not within one of Stonehill Village's other, non-age-restricted neighborhoods (such as The Countryside at Stonehill Village or White Barn Trails), since all are part of the same large masterplan and could be confused by an unfamiliar buyer or agent. The exact current HOA fee was not publicly confirmed, and reported home square footage varies between sources -- buyers should get exact current floor plan specifications directly from Epcon/Artisan Communities.

Comparison With Nearby Communities

Within Beavercreek, The Courtyards at Stonehill Village offers new-construction inventory (from $400,000) as a direct alternative to the fully built-out, resale-only Villas at Beavercreek (84 homes) a few miles away -- both built by the Epcon family of builders but at different stages of development and different price points.
