On-site community and recreational spaces:

Understanding the importance of helping our residents create a sense of community, we annually survey several hundred senior residents in our communities to ascertain the amenities and features that seniors feel are most important. As a result, we are incorporating extra square footage into the community space to allow various types of meetings, functions and activities. The building is designed with a large community space that will feature a main room to be utilized for multiple activities such as dancing, yoga, jazzercise, resident dinners, and other large gatherings. An exercise room with work-out equipment and a lending library will also be provided for residents to enjoy.

A shelter house will be located on the property which can be utilized separately or in conjunction with the larger community space and will be equipped with picnic tables and a propane grill. Additionally, covered mailboxes will be conveniently located near the entrance of the building.
