The Towers on Park Lane

This is a Cooperative building. is a good place to live but the apartment is likely to lose value over the time you are not living there and be very expensive if you're not living in it and want to sell it. The HOA is between $1300 and $1700 a month and taxes about $3000 to $4000 a year. The place is run by the residents and therefore run well. The realtors that you have to use are at the property, but ate not very professional. They provided me wrong information and did it seem very confident of any information about the property, but you do get significant materials. It has many pluses and seem to have a low, but sufficient maintenance fund. It is an aging building and have less facilities than newer senior homes. If you are looking for a place to live this is not a bad place, but realize when you leave you will likely lose money on your investment. It us poor value for money...unless you live there and wish to end investment when you die.

We've been living at The Towers on Park Lane for 27 years. It used to be independent living, but because of Fair Act, now anybody can come in. It's an old retirement home and a condominium for seniors. It's been a very favorable experience. We have extremely fine management, a lot of good activities, and help that our concierge takes care of. It's a very complete way of living and very reasonable as well. We have a fitness center, pool with classes, library, DVD center with lots of movies and books, and a craft shop. You can either cook, eat in the dining room, or call the deli where you order and they bring it out to you. The dining room is more formal than the deli, and you can order off the menu in both places. We have a wonderful kitchen, so we can cook if we want. We have lots of wheelchairs and scooters and walkers. We have residents that are over 100 years old. For the cost and all the amenities, I don't think that you should be anywhere else.

The towers is a great place to have your elderly relatives stay at. They have wonderful amenities such as a pool which my great grand mother loved. She would actually swim and do water aerobics in the morning. Within a month of starting the exercises she looked and felt a hundred times better. The food there is also very good. They offer lots of fresh fruits and vegetables to go along with a well balanced diet. Furthermore their staff is wonderful and always very helpful whenever me or my great grandmother needed anything. They would always do all the dirty work with a smile and never heard one complaint from my great grandmother. She also made some new friends at the social nights they held at the towers. Not just your typical bingo nights either, but dances and outdoor activities as well. The towers kept her happy during the twilight years of her life and I will always appreciate them for that.

We went to check out the Towers on Park Lane assisted living facility while looking at places to consider for our aunt. It is a lovely, full-service senior high rise building with many luxury style amenities. The views of downtown San Antonio and its surrounding areas are gorgeous. Residences are offered from one to three bedrooms with several different floor plans. All of the apartments we saw were extraordinary -- with beautiful furnishings, great views and designed for ease, comfort and style. The full range of activities offered rival resort style living, from spa visits to exercise and culturally stimulating activities. The seniors at this facility have access to everything that anyone else may experience in the region, which is probably how they manage to stay vibrant, youthful and healthy. The dining areas were lively, bright and beautiful. The food looked deliciously and meticulously prepared - like meals you would find in a 5 star restaurant. The chef takes the time to find out what his clients like - and responds accordingly. They can also whip up whatever you like. The snacks are offered regularly and are readily available. The overall living environment of this retirement and assisted living community is interactive in the respect that each resident gets to participate in the process of managing the facility. The staff is top-notch -- ready, willing and able to ensure that each resident's needs are met expediently and with kind and caring thoughtfulness. We could see how dedicated the staff is at this facility to the enrichment and care of the residents they are entrusted with.
