Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in. With a Walk Score of 31, the area is car-dependent, meaning most errands require a car or a ride, so a resident who no longer drives would need transportation for those trips.

Residents can use the pool, beauty salon, and wellness and fitness center on site for recreation, grooming, and exercise. An outdoor recreational park and walking trail provide space for outdoor activity, while scheduled transportation is available for trips that require a vehicle. Dining options include a spacious dining room and a private dining room, and activities include social events, card games, book club, and live music performances.
