Privacy and Personal Space

A one-bedroom apartment provides a personal retreat while still offering easy access to social activities and community amenities, like using the community pool or playing bocce.

Residents at The Arlington have shared that the living space motivates them to spend more time outside their apartments, whether it’s joining neighbors for dinner or hosting a family gathering in one of the beautiful community spaces.

  • A comfortable environment for personal reflection and downtime

Downsizing to a one-bedroom apartment encourages a clutter-free, organized lifestyle. Seniors can focus on what truly adds value to their lives rather than managing excess belongings.
