Overview of Claridge Court

Claridge Court offers independent living in Port Townsend, Washington, for seniors and disabled individuals who want a private apartment with community services rather than daily care. Residents can choose a one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartment. The larger layout may suit a couple or someone who wants a companion.

Shared spaces include a library, restaurant, community room, and garden setting, giving residents places to read, dine, spend time outdoors, and use indoor space with others. Pets are allowed, so residents can continue living with a pet. Transportation is available, and the building sits across the street from the regional transportation hub. A Walk Score of 57 places the area in the somewhat walkable range, meaning some errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to reach certain destinations independently.
