Overview of The Contemporary

The Contemporary is an independent living community located at 9105 SW 24th Street in the Westchester neighborhood of Miami, Florida. Operated by Charter Senior Living, the community is tailored for active older adults who want to maintain their autonomy without the responsibilities of home upkeep. Because it focuses exclusively on independent living, the community does not provide on-site medical care or personal assistance with daily activities.

The property features a resort-style environment centered on social engagement. Shared amenities include a rooftop lounge, a bistro, a private dining room, and an arts and crafts studio. The campus also has a library, a health and wellness center, landscaped courtyards, and outdoor walking paths.

The Westchester neighborhood carries a walk score of 56, meaning the immediate area is moderately walkable. Some daily errands can be completed on foot, while other trips around the Miami area will require a car.

Interested individuals can contact the Southwest 24th Street administrative office directly to learn about current floor plans, apartment pricing, or to arrange a personal tour.
