You don’t even have to leave the property to stay busy. There’s a salon and a barbershop, a pool, a fitness center, and a courtyard with a koi pond, which is a nice touch. If you do need to go somewhere, transportation services can take you. And if you have a pet, good news: pets are welcome here.

As for things to do, there’s no shortage. Social outings, wellness classes, and other on-site events fill up the calendar most months.
