Community

As a resident, you’re a valuable and integral part of our Charlottesville retirement community The Independence, which is why you’ll also be a voting member of our Resident’s Association. The Resident’s Council, the association’s executive body, is made up of nine resident members who meet monthly and who are instrumental in interacting with management on many facets of life at The Independence.

Our community extends beyond the doors of The Independence

In 2004, Frommer’s “Cities Ranked & Rated” named Charlottesville the Best Place to Live in the United Sates. Since then, it has only gotten better! You’ll find it’s a vibrant, lively environment—and not just for students at the University of Virginia. You’ll love taking day trips to discover everything this unique and entertaining community has to offer.
