The science-fiction TV show Star Trek from the late ’60s begins with the words: “Space … the final frontier.” If you’re considering a move, having the right amount of living space to support your goals — without overwhelming yourself with maintenance and upkeep — is essential.
That’s why it’s recommended that you pay less attention to how big a home is and instead consider how it will affect the way you use your time. It’s more important to find a community that offers engaging friendships, exposure to green space, and regular exercise, as these are all well-proven ways to boost your happiness.
If you’re searching for the perfect amount of personal space or thinking of downsizing to a senior living community like Vista Point at Fairview, here are some helpful things to consider when choosing an apartment for your retirement.
Many factors go into determining what size senior apartment home will best suit your lifestyle. Rather than just focusing on square footage, today’s senior living apartments are thoughtfully designed to maximize efficiency and storage. That may mean you can fit all you want and need into a smaller senior living floor plan than you expect. To help you estimate how much space you’ll need, consider the following questions:
Measure your sofa, dining room set, bedroom furniture, and other large pieces you plan to bring. Knowing how much space you need — and how your furniture might be arranged — can help you choose the best floor plan. But remember, depending on what you decide, chances are not everything you own will fit, so you may need to downsize some of your belongings.
Do you need an additional bedroom for out-of-town guests, or do you plan to host dinner parties and larger gatherings with family and friends?
It’s important to make sure both you and your partner have the space you need to enjoy your hobbies. A second bedroom or den can easily be used as an office or craft room.
Will your belongings fit in your apartment’s closets and storage areas, or will you need a second bedroom for additional storage? Some communities also provide personal storage lockers.
If you have a pet, make sure they’ll have the space they need. Check for room to place their kennel or litter box, areas where they can play, and a spot for their food and water dishes.
At Vista Point, you’ll find an array of thoughtful amenities and helpful services that provide an even bigger lifestyle than you may have imagined.
Eat + drink: You won’t need a stand-alone dining room or lots of kitchen storage. Vista Point will offer multiple dining venues, including a classic restaurant, a bar and lounge, an Italian/brick-oven pizzeria, and more — each featuring chef-prepared menus.
