  • What Residents Say...

    “The best decision to move from a NYC suburb to spacious Dogwood Commons. The beautifully-designed unit has plenty to offer, along with a wonderful clubhouse offering and a busy calendar of activities…. It’s a beautiful place to live.”

  • What Residents Say...

    “Sugar Maple Commons is an extraordinarily well-made and comfortable home for 55+ active adults. The homes are spacious (even the one bedrooms) and designed to move around in easily. The office staff are fantastic. There are more than enough events scheduled to give everyone enjoyable afternoons and evenings. Oh, and did I mention the fresh, oven-baked cookies Every Day?!”

  • What Residents Say...

    “We have been at Hawthorne Commons for a year now and feel very fortunate for the opportunity that came about which allowed us to move into the community. We built our house and lived there for 20 years, but upkeep is always a player with ownership. We immediately knew this was the scenario we were seeking... We are so much more involved socially than ever before.”

  • What Residents Say...

    “We moved here from a big house and drastically downsized, and we couldn’t be happier. The staff are caring and supportive of our needs. This isn’t just a place to live, but rather a complete lifestyle! There’s always something going on at The Commons.”
