The Hamilton sits in downtown Palo Alto and offers a secure, elegant home for people ages 55 and up, and the building has 24-hour security for peace of mind, while residents enjoy assigned and underground parking though there's no real outside view, no garage, and you park underground or in an assigned or guest spot, but that works out nicely. The condos are usually about 1,548 square feet and come with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an eat-in kitchen, a walk-in closet, high ceilings, lots of natural light, private patios or terraces, fireplaces, and in-unit laundry nooks with a washer and dryer. The building gives easy access with elevators and keeps things steady with forced air heating and central air conditioning, plus a gas fireplace in the living room for those colder days.
The Hamilton has a heated indoor pool and spa, a fitness center, an exercise room, and a clubroom or party room for residents to gather, and there's a rooftop deck for when you want to sit out with friends and relax. Residents can use the library, garden, salon, lounge room, and other furnished community spaces like the community room, and there are walking paths outside and two patios so you can get some fresh air. Movie nights happen now and then, and both resident-run and community-sponsored activities help keep life lively here, with a community calendar and even a resident directory to help you know what's going on and who your neighbors are.
For meals, the Hamilton's dining room serves restaurant-style food with gourmet dining five nights a week, and meal services include special offerings for diabetes or allergies, a daily menu, and meal preparations for other dietary restrictions. Folks can make meal reservations and there's a food gallery to see different dishes.
Help is available when needed, including medication management, emergency alert systems, non-ambulatory care, assistance with dressing, and a 24-hour call system. Residents can get move-in coordination services and staff responds to maintenance requests, while utility needs are met with public sewer and water and reliable electricity services. The building uses a tile roof and follows luxury-style architecture, though folks should know there's really not much in terms of a view here.
Extra features include guest suites for visitors, extra storage space, open floor plans, abundant natural light, options for fresh paint and new floors, and crown molding if you like a touch of style. The homeowners have a board of directors, can submit architectural applications, access statements, find resources, and get emergency information easily.
