Back to Playa Vista, where the Los Angeles Jewish Home is currently working on their latest luxury retirement community. The Fountainview at Gonda Westside is scheduled to open in 2016, creating 175 independent living units and 24 assisted living units. The five-story, Gensler-designed structure will rise at the intersection of Jefferson Boulevard and Westlawn Avenue. The building's "picturesque rooftop," features a swimming pool, spa, garden, cafe and observation deck. Other residential amenities include a fitness center, library, and on-site theater. As the Fountainview prepares to break ground, the rest of the Playa Vista campus is in the midst of a full on building boom. Just a short walk away, Lincoln Property Group is hard at work on the $200 million Runway at Playa Vista, which will create a mixed-use complex consisting of apartments, office space, ground floor retail and (of course) parking. Also under construction nearby is the Resort, a 25,000 square foot recreation facility featuring a fitness center and a Junior Olympic pool. In addition, a variety of smaller for-sale and rental housing facilities are underway from developers such as KB Home and Brookfield Home. This is shaping up to be a walkable, amenity laden community, full of the resources that car-free seniors will need. Plus, the beach is just one-and-a-half miles west (if you're into that sort of thing).

My mom might like something like this. We've only just started our research (aiming to get her in a place she likes by next summer), but she's vetoed every place so far, just because they were kind of small, I think. She doesn't get out much and insists that that won't change, so a huge building like this that offers a ton of stuff to do within the building might make her happy (at the same time forcing her to move around at least a little bit). I see now that budgeting a little more for her may be necessary. http://www.crimsonridgeseniorliving.com/gardens/index.html
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely senor housing facility. My mother has been talking about moving into a retirement community where there are more people her age. I'm sure she would love to live in a place like this.
