In the April 2025 edition of our newsletter, The Treehouse, we are springing into the new season!

Join our residents in celebrating the warmer weather in this April 2025 newsletter.

Wardrobes at Gabriel Homes are swapping from heavy coats to light jackets. Residents are happy they can wear their favorite clothes now that the weather is getting nicer. Almost everyone prefers wearing shorts to pants!

Check out everyone’s favorite spring clothes at gabrielhomes.org, and follow us on social media for more news from our residents.

Our residents love the walkable trails around their homes, especially in spring. No two trails are the same from home to home, so everyone can go on new adventures outdoors.

“I like walking in spring because the walks outside are relaxing.”
