The Best Independent Living Communities in Lancaster County, SC

"Holiday Willow Grove was beautiful inside. The folks there were great. They're very welcoming. If we could put it together, my brother would have been there right now. I looked at two efficiency rooms, and they were very nice and very roomy to be efficiency rooms. This place was extremely nice. The outside was extremely nice and well-kept. I would like to live there myself."

"I visited the independent living of Brookdale Charlotte East. What I like best are the apartments and the living facilities. I also like that they give you a lot of options for the benefits they have. There was nothing that I did not like. They were flexible. If I didn't want food, I didn't have to take it, and I like that. The person who gave the tour was very accommodating. She showed me three apartments, and I thought that was giving a lot. All three were not available, only one was, but she was able to show them. I liked everything about it, except I wished that the price was a little bit lower. I saw the secretary who is at the front desk and lets people come in, and she was very accommodating. Other than that, I didn't see much of the staff's work. The people at the nail salon and the physical therapists were very friendly and accommodating, though. I was also surprised that they had that kind of help there. The size of the rooms and the layout were excellent. I was blown away by the closet space. Having four closets in Charlotte is unbelievable. It was very accommodating. I also liked the terrace they have on the side of the bedroom. I thought it was very nice, and each apartment had one."

"The Bungalows at Indian Land was not in a high rise. It's one floor and it has a garage. It's a rental and not a buy in. So, it's just what we would need. The apartments were very nice. It's two bedrooms and two baths. They're large and they have plantation shutters. They have a restaurant that you can go to if you want, but you have to pay for that. The place was very clean. I liked it a lot. It's neat, tidy, and we could take our dogs."

"We were more interested in Sun City; they had just about everything. They have a golf course, indoor tennis, a big indoor gym, a big indoor swimming pool, and an outside pool as well. They have lakes where you can canoe or kayak, and they have bowling on the green. It was only 10 minutes from my daughter’s house. "

"I moved into Arden at Indian Land. The staff is very nice, and the facility is very clean. My room is very spacious. Throughout the week, they have things going on. There are card games. They do bingo and crafts and exercise classes."

"I chose to live at Highland Park Mill Senior Center because it was close to the doctor's offices and to everything else since it was in town. The facility is a good size and the rooms were decent in size as well. They got different activities like bingo on Thursday nights. There was no dining area since it was an independent living facility. The staff were very helpful and nice to us. It would be better if they lowered the rent. But I would still recommend others to stay here. "

"There was nothing I didn't like about Ambriant at Avondale. Everything was great. It had a very nice movie theater, and the facility was just recently built. The staff who assisted me with the tour was very informative, very helpful, and accommodating."

"We've chosen Traditions at Fort Mill. I liked their location and the size of their apartments. The staff was very professional, very helpful, and very polite. We're going into a two-bedroom apartment that's 1,400 square feet. They don't serve meals. They don't have a dining area. It's just a regular apartment for seniors over 55. It's for active people. They have a swimming pool and a bocce ball court."

"We toured Brightmore of South Charlotte. Everything's contained in one building. I liked all the amenities it had. I liked the flexible dining plan they have. It's not a fixed amount, and you can use it when you want and you don't have to, so you have a lot of flexibility with the food plan, and I like that. The people there were very nice and accommodating. We met a lot of people there, so we felt very comfortable there. The staff was wonderful. We did dine there. I got a salad with grilled shrimp, and my husband got scallops. It was very good. The building was beautiful and well-maintained. They have a lot of flexible floor plans. I think you can choose whatever fits your needs."

"At Balmore at Ballantyne, you pay for your own electricity, but the water and trash are included with your rent. They have amenities like a community room and they have a fitness area. Other than that, you're pretty much on your own and in your apartment. I like that it's in my price range. The building is secure. I will get a card or something to scan. They have laundry facilities in the building. It's also close to a grocery store. So, I look forward to living there. The conversation I had with the staff was great. They sent me the application online. We filled it out that night and went the next day. I took that, plus everything else that I needed with me. I got on the list and once I'm approved, I got a unit. The unit I am getting is nice. It's not huge, but it's big enough for one person. It's brand new."

"I visited my friend at Waltonwood Providence. The staff was very friendly. The dining area was very nice. They had different rooms for card playing. My friend had a one-bedroom apartment. It was a little small but it was nice. It was very clean and everything else outside was also clean. The staff was friendly. I had no issues with them. They all seemed wanting to help the residents, and it was a very nice facility."

"We toured Overture Providence 55+ Apartment Homes. I like everything about this. I love the apartments. Everything is pretty much contained in the building, the location, and the people. It doesn't have food options because it's an apartment. The staff was very nice and very helpful. The girl who we were dealing with wasn't there, so we had to deal with two other people, and they were both very extremely nice and had no problem. The only problem with this one is that, right now there's construction going on right around it, so you tend to have a noise factor from the construction. Everybody was extremely friendly. The residents who lived there would stop and just talk to you and introduce themselves."

"My sister-in-law will move into Park Pointe Village. I liked the dining there, the saltwater pool, and all their activities. We have a small studio, and we're waiting for a larger room to open up. The staff was down to earth, very pleasant, and had a great sense of humor. The food was excellent, and there were lots of choices, and all the people were very friendly."
