Conservatory at North Austin

Overview of Conservatory at North Austin

Conservatory at North Austin is an independent living community in Austin, Texas, in the Wells Branch neighborhood. Independent living here means private residences with community services rather than daily care. Residents can choose a one bedroom or two bedroom home, and the larger layout may suit a couple moving in together.

Transportation services can help with errands or appointments, so residents do not have to arrange every ride themselves. Prepared meals are available on site, while the Grande Clubhouse, scheduled activities, and community events offer places and occasions for recreation without leaving home. The Military Veterans Program is also available. With a walk score of 48, the area is car dependent, so most errands require a car or a ride.
