If you’ve been exploring age-restricted living, you’ve probably noticed that many communities offer similar promises, like maintenance-free homes, social activities and convenient amenities. But at Friendship Village Tempe, we kick it up a notch (many notches, actually) by offering a lifestyle that’s fun and friendly, full of pep and centered around the happiness of residents.
What is an Age-restricted Community?
As the name suggests, we’re talking about a neighborhood where residents must be at least 55 years old; hence, you’ll often hear the term 55+. Age-restricted communities are designed for active older adults looking to live independently among peers. These communities typically provide private residences, organized social events, and on-site conveniences such as fitness centers, clubhouses and dining options. While these features can be found in most senior living communities, it’s a special place that promotes a culture of resident engagement, high levels of hospitality and convenience, and the uplifting connections among welcoming and kind neighbors. That’s us, in a nutshell.
What Sets Friendship Village Tempe Apart?
Here are a few reasons why we stand out among other communities in the area:
1. A Brewery On-Site
Happy hour gets an upgrade. While most age-restricted communities have a bar or lounge, we have our very own in-house brewery. Residents enjoy locally crafted beers, as well as cocktails, wine and chef-prepped apps, making social gatherings even more fun and unique.
2. Elevated Dining with Rooftop Views
At Friendship Village, dining provides sustenance for the body and soul. Our rooftop Starfire restaurant provides a stunning setting to enjoy a meal with friends, watch the sunset and take in views of Tempe.
3. Underground Parking for Year-Round Comfort
One of the biggest challenges of living in Arizona is the heat. At Friendship Village Tempe, underground and covered parking ensures your car stays cool and protected from the sun. No more sizzling seats – you and your car have it made in the shade!
4. A Welcoming, Inclusive Environment
Diversity and inclusivity matter to us, which is why we’re proud to be an LGBTQ+ inclusive community. We’ve created a welcoming, open-minded environment where everyone feels respected and celebrated, ensuring that every resident finds a sense of belonging.
5. Easy Access to On-site Primary Care
Our in-community primary care access ensures that residents can receive high-quality medical care without having to travel far. Whether it’s a routine checkup or managing ongoing health needs, help is always close at hand.
6. A Home for You and Your Pets
Pets are family. That’s why Friendship Village Tempe is a pet-friendly community, allowing residents to bring their furry companions along for this new chapter of life.
7. More Than Just Activities – a Thriving Social Life
Many age-restricted communities offer social activities, but at Friendship Village Tempe, we go wayyy beyond the typical bingo nights and book clubs. Residents here enjoy a packed calendar of engaging events, group outings and creative programs that make every day exciting. Whether it’s fitness classes, art workshops, live music performances or happy hours at our brewery, there’s always something happening.
8. Access to care, if you ever need it.
This is the biggest difference of all between Friendship Village Tempe and other age-restricted communities. As a Life Plan Community, Friendship Village comes with a built-in plan for long-term care right on site. You’d do well to learn more about the tremendous value and peace of mind of this particular benefit.
