Taft Farms Senior Living Community

Overview of Taft Farms Senior Living Community

Taft Farms Senior Living Community is a 55 and older independent living community in Williston, Vermont, offering one and two bedroom apartments for older adults who want to keep living on their own with less to manage day to day. It sits in the Williston North neighborhood, roughly a short distance from the city center and close to U.S. Highway 2, restaurants, and everyday amenities, which makes errands and outings straightforward for residents and visiting family alike.

The apartments are set in a two story building, and most include heat, hot water, and electricity, so residents have fewer separate bills and utilities to track. The community also helps with maintenance requests, which takes routine upkeep off residents’ plates and supports a more independent, lower stress routine. Pets are welcome, an important detail for anyone who wants to bring a cat or dog along to their new home.

Beyond the apartments themselves, residents have access to transportation services along with fitness and recreation options, and there are communal spaces set up for socializing and spending time with neighbors. The surrounding area adds to that, with recreation sites nearby that give residents places to stay active and engaged.

With a Walk Score of 54, the neighborhood is moderately walkable, meaning some errands can be handled on foot while others call for a short drive or a ride through the community’s transportation service.
