February 26, 2025
As Carnes Crossroads anticipates its unique Agrihood farm and amenities opening this spring, the community is celebrating Lifestyle Director Haiven Whitley receiving the prestigious Gold Award for Lifestyle Director of the Year from the National Association of Home Builders.
The National Association of Home Builders honor the best in the building industry for their determination, integrity, creativity, and endurance. Whitley was selected by a diverse panel of industry professionals as the leading Lifestyle Director in the country.
“We are extremely fortunate to have Haiven at Carnes Crossroads. Through creative events, thoughtful communication, and meaningful resident engagement, Haiven has raised the bar for our Freehold Communities resident experience. This distinguished award recognizes her commitment on a national level,” said Gerrit Albert, Regional President of South Carolina and Georgia.
Whitley’s love of Lowcountry living and her educational background in health, planning, and marketing contributes greatly to Carnes Crossroads’ thriving community. As Lifestyle Director, Whitley spearheads numerous curated events, including the popular Fourth Fridays Farmers Market that runs from April to September. This community initiative invites residents and community members to support their local economy by connecting with over 40 local artisan, craft and farm vendors while enjoying live music and food trucks. Residents purchasing fresh produce at the Fourth Fridays farmers market can get a taste of Carnes Crossroads’ anticipated Agrihood opening later this year, which will include 12+ acres of farm, a farm store and a children’s garden. This exciting expansion will also offer residents a resort-style pool and water slide, a community clubhouse, a 9-mile trail and a modern wellness center and sports court.
Under Whitley’s direction, Carnes Crossroads’ residents can experience a wealth of engaging opportunities designed to foster connectivity and promote a vibrant, healthy lifestyle. Come visit today and plan your next move to Carnes Crossroads.
