Attivo Trail

The apartments seem nice but quality is lacking. There has been several water leaks reported with some needing areas of ceiling repaired. One flooded the downstairs entry bad enough so it was closed off for awhile. Rude staff.

We have chosen Attivo Trail, which is a 55 and older community. Our tour went very well. We had a nice tour guide and she showed us an empty apartment. One thing that caught our interest was a man who was standing near the door and he said, "Oh, you have to move here. It's a wonderful place to live" and that was unsolicited. The tour guide laughed. She said we should put him on the payroll because he's so enthusiastic, but the people who are out in the hallway and doing different activities seemed happy. They don't serve meals. It is completely independent. They have an indoor pool and a workout room that's quite extensive. In the new unit, which we weren't able to see yet because it wasn't finished, they also have an art room and a woodworking room, and I am an artist and my husband does woodworking, so that caught our interest that that was going to be there after the first of the year. There's a pond in the area and an outside gathering area and they have outdoor concerts there in the summertime. The apartment we chose will have a balcony looking at that area. There's a library there and there's a bar. They don't serve alcohol, but you can go in there and have your own little parties or play cards or whatever you want to do. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. She was enthusiastic about the place as well. We've talked with her on the phone several times and communicated back and forth, and she's been very efficient and very helpful. It was newish. They had built a whole new wing. Everything's attached so you can walk all the way around if you choose and stay inside. We have an attached garage as well. Since it's Iowa, that's a good feature. We don't have to go outside and our car will be protected.

I just moved into Attivo Trail. It's 55-plus apartments. So far, I really like it. My apartment is beautiful. Everything is new. I really like it. It's very beautiful. I have a view of the front entrance. I see beautiful flowers and a fountain that's going continuously. I can see ponds out in the distance with wild geese; it's very pretty. Their amenities are much better than where I came from. Other than the fact that we can't use some of the amenities because of COVID-19, we have a room where you can go for refreshments 24/7, we have a dining room where you can go for coffee or a meal on Wednesday morning, we have an indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi, and we have a beautiful backyard lounging areas where there are chairs, chaise lounges, and a fire pit. We had live entertainment the other night. Everyone is very polite and helpful. The food is very good. So far, we have not been able to experience many activities other than distance gathering; we can't play cards or anything like that yet.
