What is The Independence in Charlottesville?
This brand new, three-story apartment retirement community is perfect for active adults age 55+ who want an independent lifestyle, convenience and freedom from the hassles of home maintenance. We understand that retirement does not mean inactive. In fact, as all of our 55+ patrons learn early on, this retirement community is ideal for those with active lifestyles, those still working hard in their careers, and those who just want to enjoy the finer things in life.
The Independence commands attention at first glance, with its beautiful grounds, impressive architecture and sweeping view of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Inside, there are 12 spacious floor plans to choose from (up to 1,558 square feet) with every detail designed for comfort, style and carefree living. Our residents enjoy many convenient services and first-class amenities, like our fitness center, community rooms and outdoor gardens. Weekly housekeeping is also available, if you want to ditch the vacuuming to play golf, travel or host a cookout for family and friends.
Be sure to ask about our move-in special, worth thousands of dollars in free upgrades that make it easy to customize your new apartment.
