Self-reliance Town is a retirement home snuggled in Rock Oak.
My better half and I relocated right here in very early 2020. We and our next-door neighbors stay in 103 solitary or semi-detached homes on 23 acres, bordered by thousands of fully grown and heritage trees. In a gated community, we are lock-and-go for those that desire to take a cruise ship or a journey around the world or around the nation to see family members. For the stay-at-homes, features and tasks offer lots of options for taking pleasure in the “gold” years.
The ideal aspect of Self-reliance Town is our area of next-door neighbors, coming from throughout the area. If you were to check why individuals picked the Town, both most usual factors were to move near to kids and grandchildren or due to the fact that they were pointed right here throughout army solution and picked to go back to San Antonio upon retired life.
We have a wide range of life experiences to share when fraternizing next-door neighbors from Vermont to Hawaii and past. A 3rd factor to live right here is the setting, providing us the advantage of tree-shaded strolls or the delight of remaining on the front patio and welcoming others walking by, frequently come with by their pet.
Having a wide array of tasks, possibility to make great close friends is plentiful. We appreciate a month-to-month morning meal, lunch, and delighted hour, an once a week Friday at 5 obtain with each other, card video games, parlor game, a publication club conversation, Scriptures research, craft teams, workout teams, and challenges, so there really is something for all rate of interests.
Beyond that we ride the Town bus to go to tasks and programs around community and additional afield. With somebody else driving, it is an enjoyment to appreciate journeys to Fredericksburg or the lavender areas or a vineyard or numerous various other neighboring places.
Our way of life centers right here are very first price. The club is the centerpiece for a lot of occasions, with a huge, warmed year-round outside swimming pool surrounding. A collection and tiny fitness center are additionally readily available. For golf enthusiasts and tennis gamers, we have benefits at the Sonterra Nation Club much less than a mile away.
And as we age, our worry for requiring clinical focus expands. Luckily, we remain in the heart of the Rock Oak clinical location, with both the Rock Oak Methodist and Baptist healthcare facilities along with numerous medical professionals and centers simply nearby. For someplace later on, an assisted living area rests following door for a simple relocation if required.
When my better half and I chose to scale down, we looked for an area centrally situated with specific devices and one which does not need spending for everyday dishes. That leaves us totally free to eat in or eat in restaurants at the numerous location dining establishments. A retired life home following door additionally supplies us a huge dining-room with really sensible prices whenever need to miss our very own cooking area turns up.
Our homes fit, with an option of one, 2, or 3 bed rooms varying in dimension from 1,100 to 2,300 square feet plus a connected dual garage. We fit at 1,800 square feet.
A plus is that landscape and house upkeep repair services and jobs are consisted of. Gladly, somebody else trims the grass, strikes the fallen leaves, and cuts the shrubs. Altering out smoke alarm batteries, A/C filters, and light bulbs or handling a pipes issue is a telephone call away. My better half specifically delights in the regular see by a maid, that lightens the routine cleansing jobs we share.
Self-reliance Town is certainly NOT an old individuals’s home! It is an age-appropriate area. After 5 years, we still think that our selection to relocate right here was the best one for us. And we just needed to more than 55!
