E86- The Active Adult Market with Jeff McQueen of Shea Homes

In this episode of the Land to Lots™️ Podcast, Carter Froelich sits down with Jeff McQueen, President of Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities, to explore the evolution of the active adult housing market.

As the co-founder of the Trilogy® division, Jeff has helped shape age-qualified communities in eight states — bringing together innovative home designs, lifestyle branding, wellness-driven amenities and creating social bonds with the Trilogy residents. Jeff shares what's working, what's changing, and how Shea is growing their brand in a market that continues to grow in both demand and complexity.

• What defines an "active adult" community — and how that definition is changing

• How Trilogy® balances lifestyle branding with affordability and long-term relevance

• The role of special taxing districts in financing active adult infrastructure

• How the impact of sticky interest rates are affecting sales
