The Arbordale

We have lived here almost a year now and it has been the best decision my husband and I have made. This is OUR home and we LOVE it. The people who live here have welcomed us with open arms. You can be as active as you want. Between the exercise class to Saturday night movies there is always something to do. Our apartment is so bright with the many windows to let in the sunshine.

Cringy. The Arbordale has some good qualities. It needs updating. It is pricey. Compared to other places on the market, I don't fin

My wife and I moved into The Arbordale in Aug. of this year. We have lived in multiple over 55 communities and the first thing that sets The Arbordale apart from the rest is the leadership team. They don't just make promises to get you moved in, they follow up on all promises after you have moved in. They definitely have the resident's as their top priority. The communication between management and the residents is excellent, this is another thing lacking in other over 55 communities. The apartments are larger than most other facilities. Rosie, the Executive Chef, does a wonderful job serving us well balanced meals that taste great. Susie, the Marketing Director, is not a high pressure sales person.
