Ivy Park at Oakland Hills sits in the quiet foothills and overlooks beautiful views of the Oakland Hills Country Club, and while the building itself is two stories tall, it feels homey and well cared for, with grand foyers, lovely artwork, and quiet sitting areas placed throughout, and people come in and out for visits or to use the activity studios, library, or the cozy living rooms with fireplaces and soft chairs where you can watch TV if you like. The community welcomes pets, and the outdoor spaces include gardens, benches, walking paths, and scenic views of the cityscape, so there's always a place to stretch your legs, take in the air, or just sit for a while.
