Wellness communities are popping up all over, recruiting residents who are “overstressed, overworked, and craving escapism.” The utopias tap into Millennials’ passion for health, fitness, and mindfulness by offering yoga, meditation, local hikes, and more. At Serenbe, those hikes are landscaped with medicinal plants. (And they’re not the only place to feed into the natural obsession.) One wellness community partner explains that “Millennials value their health like it’s a birthright. And the real estate was the last to catch up.” But they’re making up for lost time: about 350 North American “wellness community projects” are currently in progress. (Fast Company)
