Springvale Apartments sits on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River, in Westchester County, New York, and it's really meant for folks aged 55 and older who want to live independently but not alone, and you see, the place covers about 35 acres full of old growth trees with nice walking paths, lovely garden settings, and lots of places to sit down and talk or just watch the river if you like that sort of thing. There are 31 buildings with a variety of apartments-studios, efficiencies, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms-some with private entrances and even patios or balconies, so people can find something that fits them whether they're looking for something cozy or something with a little more room, and the apartments range from 460 to 1,136 square feet, with 1 to 3 bathrooms, and you can spot upgraded choices with new cabinets, quartz or granite counters, and bigger appliances if that's important to you, but those have a small extra charge. The community makes it easy for folks to meet and make friends, with clubs, activities, and events run out of the clubhouse called The Barn, which has a big TV, a library, a kitchen, a computer desk, and even a spot to get in some exercise if you're keeping up with yoga or tai chi.
There are laundry rooms dotted around so you don't have to walk far, and you get gas heat, hot water, air conditioning, and some places come with satellite TV and high-speed internet. Maintenance and security run 24 hours a day, and there's an on-site manager, which comes in handy if anything pops up unexpectedly, so you don't have to worry. They keep the place smoke-free, and pets are welcome too, as long as they meet the rules, and there's a pet park where folks can take their pets out for a bit. People who like to get out and about have public bus stops right on the grounds, along with free bus rides for shopping twice a week, and the apartments are near Oscawana Park's trails and the old McAndrews Estate ruins, so there are plenty of chances for fresh air or just a change in scenery.
They make a point of giving chances to socialize, whether it's the newsletter that keeps everyone in the loop, regular events, or just the way the walkways and benches are set up to encourage folks to stop for a talk. The rental office is open by appointment, Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, and there's a site map and photo galleries to help folks get a sense of the place without having to guess too much. Altogether, Springvale Apartments offers a quiet, pet-friendly spot for active seniors who want a park-like feel, friendly neighbors, independence, and support, all looking out at those nice Hudson River views.
