The community has a warm, residential atmosphere with a stone fireplace and thoughtfully furnished common areas. Residents can relax on the outdoor patio, care for raised garden beds, or enjoy walks along the on-site nature trails. Nearby golf courses are another recreational option, while a fitness center and both indoor and outdoor gathering spaces give residents several places to stay active and socialize.
