Brunswick Retirement Village

Overview of Brunswick Retirement Village

Set on Parkview Circle in Brunswick, Maine, Brunswick Retirement Village is an 84-bed independent living community built around simplicity. A car still matters here. The Walk Score sits at 25, “somewhat walkable,” so groceries, appointments, and errands mostly mean driving rather than walking out the front door.

The cost structure is layered but predictable. One-bedroom apartments start at $1,425 a month, two-bedroom units at $1,750, and two-bedroom end units run $1,800. On top of monthly rent, residents pay a $700 entry fee, which is non-refundable, and a $100 move-in deposit that is. Utilities, including water, sewage, and grounds maintenance, are folded into the arrangement, and the building doesn’t allow smoking anywhere on the premises.

One admissions detail sets this community apart from most independent living options: renters who are Seventh-day Adventists receive priority. It’s a specific, structural fact worth knowing early, since it can shape how competitive or how open the waitlist feels depending on a family’s own circumstances.

Brunswick Retirement Village works best for older adults who want a modest, self-sufficient living setup with clear monthly costs and utilities already handled, in a community where daily life still runs on four wheels rather than sidewalks.
