Outdoor Common Areas

Our outdoor common areas provide ample space for enjoying fresh air and our planned activities. An enclosed courtyard creates a hub for catching up with friends while taking a stroll between different wings of our building. The ornate gazebo at the center of the courtyard is a great place to chat while watching birds flit between the sculpted bushes and trees that dot our landscaping. Raised garden beds house flowers planted by our green-thumbed residents in the garden club and offer colorful landing spots for migrating butterflies. Sets of outdoor tables and chairs create spaces for socializing during outdoor gatherings. In the patio areas, residents can snack on a picnic lunch and bask in the full sun, or toast to a birthday under the shaded pergola.

The interior features mocha-colored laminate floors, light grey walls interspersed with bold color accents, flush-mounted wall sconces, and ample recessed lighting throughout the community.
