Independent Living in Cheshire

I have had many listings in the Southwick Complex and continue to be impressed by the high standards for this Independent Living Community. For those of you who don't know what exactly does an independent living community entail, I can give you a little breakdown.

Compared to any other senior living option, independent living provides the greatest versatility and freedom. This classification of housing refers to residence in a compact, easy-to-maintain, private apartment or house within a community of seniors.

This living situation is a great option for seniors who are healthy and able to take care of themselves, but no longer want to take on the responsibility of maintaining a home. The best part of this type of living is the close-knit community and social interaction that it provides its residents.

Here is what my latest listing, 70 Southwick Court Unit #201, has to offer...

Set in the desirable Southwick 55+ Complex, this bright and airy two bedroom, two bathroom unit is just what you're looking for. All of your necessary appliances are included from a washer and dryer to a garbage disposal, oven and dishwasher. Located on the second floor, it boasts a balcony that looks out over beautiful tree-lined grounds accessible through the sliding glass door in the living room. The second bedroom could easily be turned into an office or used as a guest room for visiting family and friends.

Southwick is an active adult community that features everything you could ever need in one place - a library room on each floor, a billiard room, TV room, fitness room, salon, post office and large dining room. For special occasions, you get the luxury of a huge community room that can be rented for parties. If there's something you don't have, all amenities and shopping are close by!

Here is my other unit you'll definitely want to check out...

70 Southwick Unit #212 is a second floor unit with one bedroom, one bathroom, in excellent condition, and offers so much for a fair price. Full kitchen boasts plenty of appliances, perfect for cooking an intimate dinner or delectable feast. Entertaining will be a breeze in your living room/dining room combination. Additional features include two assigned parking spaces, a first floor laundry room, and a balcony.
