    Friendly staff, active social community

    I live in a spacious 2-bedroom, first-floor unit with a renovated kitchen and patio door - shower only and no in-unit laundry (coin-op on each floor). Staff and residents are very friendly, care is attentive and proactive, and maintenance is responsive; the community is clean and well-maintained, though the carpet needs replacing and there's an occasional bad odor. The clubhouse is lively with activities (ice cream socials, game nights, big-screen movies) and frequent outings (casino, museum, ballet); Sycamore Senior Center can arrange transport and meals, and shops, a doctor, and an ice cream shop are walkable in Blue Ash. I recommend it for the active social life, convenient location, and responsive staff.

    Summary review

    Overall impression: Reviewers present a largely positive view of Town Square Senior Apartments. The community is repeatedly described as attractive, well maintained, and clean, with spacious units and a convenient Blue Ash location. Residents and reviewers emphasize an active social environment with many on-site events and organized outings. Multiple comments recommend the property, citing the friendliness of staff and neighbors and the proactive responsiveness of maintenance.

    Activities and community life: One of the most consistent strengths is the variety and frequency of social and recreational opportunities. The community offers game nights, big-screen movie nights, lunch outings, ice cream socials, and special cultural and entertainment trips (casino, art museum, ballet). There is an on-site clubhouse that hosts activities, and some reviewers highlight an affordable recreation center membership as an added benefit. Transport to events is available and, when needed, transport and meal services can also be arranged through Sycamore Senior Center. These features contribute to a social, engaged atmosphere for residents.

    Staff, care, and management: Reviews repeatedly call out friendly and attentive staff. Several summaries note proactive monitoring of residents’ needs and responsive maintenance when issues arise. The management and care-related aspects are presented positively—residents feel supported and the staff is described as helpful. This sense of attentive oversight appears to reinforce residents’ confidence in the community and is a strong selling point in the reviews.

    Facilities and unit details: The physical property is generally described as clean and well maintained. Specific unit features mentioned include spacious floorplans, a first-floor 2-bedroom option, patio doors, and at least some renovated kitchens. There is an on-site hairdresser and convenient proximity to neighborhood amenities (doctor across the street, nearby ice cream shop). Laundry facilities are present and reported as clean; however, they are coin-operated and located on each floor rather than inside individual apartments. Some units are shower-only (no bathtub), which may be a consideration for prospective residents.

    Notable patterns and concerns: While sentiment is mostly positive, a few recurring concerns appear across reviews. The absence of in-unit laundry—relying instead on coin-operated machines on each floor—is a commonly mentioned drawback and could be inconvenient or an additional expense for some residents. Reviewers also report a need for carpet replacement in some areas and mention occasional bad odors in parts of the property. Finally, several units feature shower-only baths rather than tubs, which may not suit all preferences or mobility needs. That said, reviewers often note that maintenance is responsive to issues, which mitigates some concerns.

    Recommendation guidance: In sum, Town Square Senior Apartments is portrayed as an active, well-maintained 62+ community with strong social programming, helpful staff, and a favorable location in Blue Ash. Prospective residents who value on-site activities, regular outings, and an engaged residential community are likely to find it appealing. Individuals for whom in-unit laundry, carpet condition, or having a bathtub are dealbreakers should inspect units in person and discuss those specifics with management. Overall, the reviews indicate more positives than negatives, with management responsiveness and a robust activity calendar standing out as key strengths.

    About Town Square Senior Apartments

    Town Square Senior Apartments sits in the heart of Blue Ash, Ohio, right near shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, banks, medical offices, and entertainment, which makes daily errands pretty easy since everything's around the corner, and the walk score says it's somewhat walkable at 69, but they also have a van that takes folks on excursions to museums, stores, theaters, and restaurants so people can get out and about even if they don't drive. The community's been locally owned and operated since 1984, and with only about 50 one- and two-bedroom apartments, it gives people a chance to know neighbors and offers personalized service that a bigger place might not manage. The apartments are designed for independence and comfort, with roomy floor plans, lots of closet space, storage cupboards, and a patio or deck right off the living room to get a bit of fresh air. They keep things quieter, thanks to soundproofing between apartments, and there are wheelchair-accessible showers, safety grab bars in the tubs and hallways, elevators to help get groceries upstairs, individually controlled heating and air conditioning, new appliances, and updated cabinets and countertops in the kitchens. Pets are welcome, so people who want to bring a small pet along can do so.

    They don't allow smoking in any indoor area, which helps keep things clean, and there are laundry rooms on each floor, plus security doors in the lobby, so people and their guests feel safe. The community rooms do a lot of heavy lifting since folks gather there for potluck dinners, card games, movie nights, birthday parties, and other activities, and the staff helps with onsite and offsite activities, life enrichment programs, and outings. Onsite, there's a beauty and barber shop, a wellness center for staying healthy, indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, and a big living room where residents can meet family and friends. Maintenance and staff get good marks from the people who live there, who call them helpful and friendly. The place's aimed at independent seniors who are young at heart but there's support for people who may need assisted living, who may be living with memory issues, or who need respite or hospice help. Meals are provided to residents, and there's resident parking if folks want to keep their cars. Town Square Senior Apartments accepts people from all walks of life, whether male or female, and keeps a straightforward, affordable approach, offering private-pay independent living with a few more options if residents need them as they age. The community gets high ratings from the people who live there and their families, especially for its staff, activities, and the way apartments let in lots of light. People say the sense of community, the maintenance-free living, and the convenient location make life easier as they grow older.
