Overview of Highland Green Management

Highland Green Management sits at 7 Evergreen Cir in Topsham, Maine. The community offers three kinds of care under one roof: assisted living, independent living, and memory care. It has been open for 21 years.

Getting around the neighborhood on foot is hard here. The Walk Score is 2 out of 100, which means the area is car-dependent, so residents and family who visit will likely need to drive for errands and outings rather than walk to them.

This is a place built for an active later life. Residents must be 55 or older to move in. Clubs and group activities run on a regular basis, giving people steady chances to socialize and stay busy.

The grounds back that up with real range: a golf course, tennis and pickleball courts, and a bocce court, plus an outdoor pool. There’s also a nature preserve on the property with walking trails, so residents can get outside without leaving the community.

Indoor life has its own gathering points too. A community center and several shared spaces are set up for socializing, and a restaurant and pub on site let residents eat and mingle without going off the property. Taken as a whole, the setup points to a community aimed at retirees who want to stay active and spend time outdoors, more than one built around quiet, low-key routines.

Overview of Pinecrest Apartments

In Lewiston’s Lisbon Street neighborhood, Pinecrest Apartments offers independent living in a single-story building built for walkability. The Walk Score here is 87, meaning most errands, from the pharmacy to the corner market, can be done on foot rather than by car. That’s a real distinguishing feature about Pinecrest Apartments in a state where many senior communities sit well outside walkable areas.

The apartments come in one, two, and three bedroom layouts, giving residents some room to choose based on space needs rather than settling for a single floor plan. Inside, units are built around large open floor plans and scenic views, with central air conditioning and generous walk-in closets rounding out the everyday comfort.

The location itself does a lot of the work for the community’s appeal. Downtown Lewiston is close enough that hospitals, pharmacies, and restaurants are all a short trip away, which matters for residents who still want an active, independent routine. Pinecrest suits someone who wants their own apartment and their independence, paired with a neighborhood they can actually walk around in.
