The Spinney at Pond View gives older adults aged 55 and over a place to live that's calm and neighborly, where you can choose from single or two-story cottages with one or two bedrooms, and each home has things like energy-star appliances, granite countertops, European-style cabinets, window seats, washers and dryers, wood laminate floors, cathedral ceilings, and private front porches or patios, plus attached garages with remote entry and private driveways. Cottages range in size from about 1,125 to 1,675 square feet, with floor plans like The Adelaide, The Belvedere, The Caravelle, The Durham, The Eberhart, and The Edmonton, giving options for different space and layout needs, and they've built these homes so they're easy to get around in, no matter your mobility. The community sits by a pond and has a gazebo, plus walking trails, picnic tables at Elisabeth's Grove, and a park-like setting with lots of trees, which is nice if you like to walk, garden, or enjoy the outdoors.
There's a two-pool setup-one for laps and one for relaxing-and a spacious patio area where people often gather in summer or listen to live concerts. Pets are welcome in the cottages, with up to two allowed per home, though there are size and breed rules. The Spinney at Pond View has a big clubhouse of about 5,000 square feet, and people spend time there using the media room with its projector and big screen, trying their luck at the billiards table, or joining in at the gym and fitness area. There's a Great Room for gatherings with a full-size kitchen and fireplace, and the clubhouse hosts a steady schedule of activities managed by the Lifestyle Director, including games, holiday celebrations, themed nights like Western karaoke, and movie nights, so there's usually something going on for residents who like to stay active.
The property also offers a professional arts building with healthcare providers like doctors and dentists, so you don't always have to travel far for appointments. Maintenance, snow and trash removal, lawn care, and cable and internet are included, which can make daily living easier. For those who like to work in the dirt or just sit outside, there's a community garden and plenty of landscaped areas. Residents have their needs met with thoughtful touches such as ADA adaptable bathrooms, universal design layouts, single-story plans, and features like heating (gas), air conditioning, ceiling fans, and modern kitchens with dishwashers, microwaves, and washers and dryers included in every unit. There's 24-hour maintenance for unexpected issues, and the community takes care of most of the hard work of home ownership, so you can focus on enjoying your day. The place is near parks, libraries, restaurants, shopping, and places of worship, and it's a member of the Rensselaer Chamber of Commerce, supporting the local area. Overall, The Spinney at Pond View suits people who want an independent, active life in a setting that's comfortable and meant to be easy to live in.
