INDEPENDENT LIVING
The freedom to nurture your passions with a community of supportive friends.
Independent living is the privacy of your own apartment home where we do all the upkeep with the added benefit of community living—luxurious common areas, a variety of dining experiences, abundant amenities and plenty of opportunities to explore your personal passions and connections.
