The Benefits of Independent Living at JCHC’s Village Apartments

 


Living independently as a senior is great, but it becomes even more wonderful when you choose a community that allows you to enjoy life’s finer aspects. Your living space should reflect your personality and lifestyle. Downsizing to an independent living apartment shouldn’t mean giving up the lifestyle you love. Luckily, you don’t have to at JCHC’s Village Apartments in South Orange! Let’s explore the main benefits and amenities of living independently here.

Ideal Independent Living Location in The Heart of South Orange NJ

Location is crucial in real estate because it’s the one thing you can’t change. While you can renovate your home or redecorate your apartment, you can’t move it to a different spot. Fortunately, the Village Apartments are located in the vibrant heart of South Orange. Just a few blocks away, you’ll find excellent local shopping, fine dining, the South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC), and hiking trails at the South Mountain Reservation. Plus, the Village Apartments are conveniently near the Garden State Parkway and public transportation to NYC.

Living close to entertainment and necessities is fantastic, but having everything you need under one roof is even better. The Village offers more than just standard apartments. Our building includes a state-of-the-art fitness center, a lecture hall for educational classes, and an outdoor garden and patio seating area perfect for meeting friends.

Residents can come and go as they please, with 24-hour on-site security personnel ensuring safety and assistance whenever needed.

The luxury apartments at the Village have been recently renovated to provide everything you could want in a smaller space. Each one-bedroom or studio apartment features an open floor plan, perfect for hosting family and friends. Kitchens, often the heart of a home, are open-concept and come with new stainless steel appliances and large peninsula countertops, ideal for cooking and entertaining. Other luxury features include energy-efficient LED lighting, custom elevated bathroom vanities, walk-in showers, and new laminate flooring throughout.
