Healthcare services, meal plans, personal care, and medication management are not provided.

Our communities are designed for adults 55 and older. You’ll find a wide range of ages and life experiences here. In accordance with federal housing guidelines for age-qualified communities, certain occupancy exceptions may apply. Our community management team is always available to answer questions about eligibility and specific household situations.

Our community is designed specifically for active adults ages 55 and better who are looking for more than just an apartment. In addition to thoughtfully designed apartment homes, residents enjoy resort-style amenities, a full calendar of social events and activities, and opportunities to connect with neighbors who are in a similar stage of life. We offer a maintenance-free lifestyle that makes it easier to spend time doing the things you love.

Our residents include both working professionals and retirees, each with their own interests, hobbies, and routines. This mix creates a vibrant, well-rounded community where neighbors can connect with others who share similar interests and schedules.

As social as you'd like it to be! Many residents enjoy meeting friends for coffee, participating and/or coordinating events, working out together, or relaxing by the pool. Others prefer a quieter lifestyle. You'll always have opportunities to connect, but there's never any pressure to participate.

We host thoughtfully planned events throughout the month to help residents stay active, engaged, and connected. Led by our Lifestyle & Engagement Coordinator, our calendar features fitness classes, game nights, happy hours, educational seminars, crafting, holiday celebrations, live entertainment, resident clubs, volunteer opportunities, local outings and more — offering something for a variety of interests.

We understand that moving — especially from another city or state — can feel overwhelming. To help you feel at home, our community hosts resident mixers and introductions, while dedicated resident ambassadors personally welcome and connect with new residents. Many residents naturally build friendships by attending activities and events, spending time in the clubhouse, and enjoying community amenities.

Many of our communities have resident-led clubs and interest groups, such as book clubs, card games, walking groups, crafting, fitness groups, and more. Clubs often evolve based on residents' interests, so there's always room for something new.

Most resident events and activities are included at no additional cost. Occasionally, special outings or ticketed events involving outside vendors or admission fees may require an additional charge. Any associated costs will always be communicated in advance.

It’s easy to stay connected! Residents receive a monthly community calendar featuring upcoming activities and events. You can also stop by the leasing office or the Lifestyle & Engagement table in the clubhouse, or view the latest event schedule on our community website.

Absolutely! We love seeing residents share their passions and hobbies. If there's an activity you'd like to see, we encourage you to work with your community management team to get started.
