Greenway Square Retirement Community sits off U.S. Highway 521 in Indian Land, right near the banks of the Catawba River and just south of Charlotte's city limits, and you'll notice the white picket fences, rolling green land, and the peaceful, farm-like surroundings, which many folks find pleasant, while the buildings themselves offer open-concept living spaces with kitchens, dining areas, and living rooms with either wooden or granite cabinetry and stainless steel appliances. This place is for people aged 55 and older who want independent retirement living, where apartment home floor plans suit retirees, with choices for one or two bedrooms, private rooms with comfortable furnishings, soft lighting, and accessible bathrooms with walk-in showers and granite countertops, and there's never any buy-in fee or long lease because one monthly rent covers almost everything.
The staff organize activities and events led by a dedicated Lifestyle Director, so residents can regularly enjoy gatherings in shared spaces like a 150-seat theater, library, game and billiards rooms, art and reading rooms, and a lounge with a bar. The Freedom Dining program includes three daily chef-prepared meals, meal delivery service, and a chef's pantry where anyone can grab snacks if they like, and the dining area gets high marks for its award-winning food. The community is pet-friendly, without extra fees, and offers safety features like a 24/7 Emergency Alert System, live-in managers, and around-the-clock concierge services. For day-to-day needs, there's housekeeping, maintenance, transportation, counseling, dementia training and support, and a store on-site that delivers essential products free to local senior communities, so families don't have to worry so much about errands.
Amenities try to cover most things seniors want for comfort and leisure, from a fitness center and spa area to a movie room, business center, and beauty salon. Residents have access to the travel program, so anyone interested can visit other Resort Lifestyle Communities locations at no extra cost, which gives a chance to explore and maybe make new friends elsewhere, and the Life at RLC lifestyle program aims to keep life both convenient and engaging. The team at Greenway Square aims to give personal guidance to families looking for care options, and while the focus is on independent living, they also offer support for changing needs, so residents can feel secure whether they need just a little help or more. The grounds stay well-kept, and many residents talk about the close community bonds, steady activities, and the sense of dignity that comes from the respect the staff shows every day.
