Grandkid-Ready: Where Hugs, Laughter and Memories Come Easy

If you’re a grandparent, you already know — some of life’s best moments happen when little feet run through your front door. At Amblebrook at Gettysburg, it’s easy to say yes to spontaneous sleepovers, backyard adventures and laugh‑filled afternoons. From flexible home design to vibrant community programming, everything here makes grandkid visits more joyful, memorable and low‑stress.

Built‑In Fun for Every Age

Whether they’re here for a weekend or a full week, Amblebrook helps keep young guests engaged, active and asking to come back. The first annual AmbleKids brought big smiles to kids ages 6 to 12 — and just as many to their grandparents. Over two sun‑filled days, kids explored scavenger hunts with the Nature Club, dug into local soil and produce with the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau and joined a cooking demo with fresh ingredients. Each child went home with a personalized sticker logbook, a keepsake from a weekend packed with discovery and connection. 

It’s just one of the many ways this 55+ active adult community brings generations together. Add in pool games, scenic trails and indoor spaces like the game room and arts studio — part of Amblebrook’s abundant lifestyle — and the fun doesn’t stop, rain or shine.

Simple Joys, Unforgettable Moments

No need to plan every minute. At Amblebrook, the setting does the heavy lifting. Host a backyard movie night. Build a fort in the living room. Make smoothies and snacks together. Or explore nearby Gettysburg and share a little history between scoops of ice cream. 

Need ideas? Residents love s’mores nights, story time picnics, scavenger hunts and cozy cookie chats around the kitchen island. Proof that meaningful moments don’t need a packed agenda. 

Homes Designed to Welcome the Whole Family

Amblebrook’s open layouts, flex spaces and guest‑ready bedrooms make it easy for your grandkids to feel comfortable and connected at your place, while still providing just the right amount of privacy. These aren’t outdated floorplans or fixer‑uppers; they’re thoughtfully designed new homes with tech‑enabled features that help visits feel effortless. All that, in one of Pennsylvania’s most welcoming communities — so you can focus on fun, not logistics.
