Both are popular. Both offer active adult living. But they are very different in lifestyle, cost, and overall experience.

So how do you choose?

Let’s break it down clearly so you can decide which one fits you.

Trilogy at The Vineyards: Resort-Style Living

Trilogy is often considered the more upscale, lifestyle-driven 55+ community in Brentwood.

What Makes Trilogy Stand Out

• Resort-style clubhouse
• Fitness center and spa
• Pools, pickleball, tennis
• On-site restaurant and wine bar
• Organized events and social calendar

 Trilogy is designed to feel like a resort you live in full-time.

Home Style & Feel

• Newer construction
• Modern layouts
• Higher-end finishes
• Smaller, low-maintenance lots

 It feels polished, newer, and more lifestyle-focused.

Price Point

• Typically higher than Summerset
• Higher HOA dues
• More premium amenities included

You’re paying for the experience, not just the home.

Summerset: Community-Focused & More Affordable

Summerset includes several gated 55+ neighborhoods and is known for being more accessible and community-driven.

What Makes Summerset Stand Out

• Gated communities
• Clubhouses and pools
• Social clubs and activities
• Strong neighborhood feel

It offers active living—but in a more relaxed, less resort-style way.

Home Style & Feel

• Slightly older homes (compared to Trilogy)
• More variation in floor plans
• Many single-story options
• Often larger lots than Trilogy

It feels more like a traditional neighborhood with added amenities.

Price Point

• Generally more affordable than Trilogy
• Lower HOA fees (varies by neighborhood)

Great for buyers who want 55+ living without the premium cost.

Key Differences at a Glance

Which One Is Right for You?

Choose Trilogy if you want:

• A resort-style lifestyle
• Newer homes and modern finishes
• Built-in activities and amenities
• A more “luxury” feel

Choose Summerset if you want:

• A lower price point
• A quieter, traditional neighborhood feel
• A strong community without higher HOA costs

The Biggest Mistake Buyers Make

Many buyers focus only on price—but the real difference is lifestyle.

 Trilogy = experience-driven living
Summerset = community-driven living

Choosing the wrong one can mean loving your home… but not your day-to-day life.

The Bottom Line

Both Trilogy and Summerset offer incredible options for 55+ living in Brentwood.

The right choice comes down to:

• Your budget
• Your desired lifestyle
• How active and social you want your environment to be

Thinking About 55+ Living in Brentwood?

You’re not just choosing a home.
