The Commons - 55+ Active Adult Community in Huntsville, Alabama, stands at 4300 Chris Dr SW, near Fern Parc Apartment Homes and Springtime Blvd SW, and offers independent and assisted living for seniors aged 55 and older. The community features four different floor plans for one- and two-bedroom apartments, with sizes between 692 and 1,298 square feet, and the apartments have high ceilings, accessible shower seats, and senior-focused safety features, all inside three-story buildings that allow pets and provide both indoor and outdoor common areas. Residents find well-kept and landscaped grounds, a walking path for easy strolls, screened-in and outdoor patios for gatherings, plus a 24-hour fitness room for exercise, and a fireside club room for games and socials, with several community spaces built for spending time together.
There's a local partners program, a calendar called Happenings for planned activities, outings to local restaurants and parks, and an attentive management team who help with activity coordination and event planning, while personalized services, such as housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance, mean residents don't have to worry about chores. Residents choose meal options through the Ivy Cafe, which offers eat-in, carryout, and delivery plans, and there's a party kitchen and a family-style dining room for meals together, all while pet care and storage services support daily life.
Apartments at The Commons come in four floor plans, with accessible showers, cozy layouts, and options for one or two bedrooms, including units with a den, and the building provides resident parking as well as wheelchair access. The structured CareSteps program tailors care for each resident and helps those who need extra support, while options for independent living and assisted living are both available, so people can maintain as much independence as possible. The Commons has affordable, flexible leasing, and a la carte services give even more choice, whether a person prefers more help or less. Seniors can join group outings, events, recreation, and education programs, or enjoy the common areas, all while knowing that staff focus on senior health, safety, cleaning, and security.
Apartments are pet-friendly, and the community encourages furry friends, so residents don't have to leave their pets behind if they move. The entire community is age-restricted to those 55 and older, and men and women both have housing options, including female-only units. Prospective residents can come for a tour, check available floor plans, and learn about pricing. The Commons blends practical features, plenty of shared spaces, maintenance-free living, and a friendly, safe environment that helps people stay social and active while making daily life a little easier.
