Walnut Grove Retirement Community

Overview of Walnut Grove Retirement Community

Nestled on the city’s south side, where West Omaha begins to transition, Walnut Grove Retirement Community is an independent living community in Omaha’s Millard neighborhood. The community at 4901 S 153rd Street operates as a three-story apartment building managed by Resort Lifestyle Communities, with 25 years of stable operation. The surrounding area scores a 51 on the Walk Score scale, so some errands are walkable, with most trips needing a car or transportation service.

Walnut Grove Retirement Community offers studios and one- and two-bedroom apartments spanning from 566 to 1,206 square feet, giving residents choices about space and layout. Weekly housekeeping and maintenance are included in the arrangement. Manager Todd King leads the community. Dining here runs on the Signature Freedom Dining model, built around an executive chef who prepares three meals daily with rotating menus, diet-conscious preparation, unit delivery to residents who prefer it, and an all-time open pantry for snacking or casual meals. Substantial are the common spaces: a 150-seat theater, billiards room, arcade, library, a lounge with a full bar, a fitness center, a spa, and a business center. A lifestyle director builds a monthly calendar of activities and social events across these spaces. Safety infrastructure includes a 24-hour emergency alert system, a 24/7 concierge desk, and live-in managers, so support is always on-site. Occupants can bring pets for free, and there is a travel benefit that lets residents use other resort lifestyle communities’ properties across the country for free.

Walnut Grove Retirement Community fits self-sufficient older adults needing a structured community with a strong dining program, extensive common spaces, and amenities built in. It doesn’t provide personal care or medical assistance, so occupants are expected to manage their own health and daily needs independently, as is the standard for independent living nationwide.
