Calirosa 55+ Active Adult Apartment Community in Kissimmee, FL, is a place where adults age 55 and older can live in modern apartments with full-size washers and dryers, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and open floor plans, and you'll even find screened balconies or patios in some homes, which really help when you want a bit of fresh air without the bugs, and when you walk into the bedrooms, you'll notice the upgraded carpet under your feet while the living spaces have that wood plank-style flooring that's easier to keep clean. The community is smoke-free and pet-friendly, so cats and dogs are welcome, and there's a gated dog park along with walking trails for you and your pets to get outside, plus the grounds stay clean and well-kept, thanks to a reliable maintenance team that's always quick to handle any repair requests.
Security features include limited-access points, access-controlled corridors and elevators with air conditioning throughout, and storage units are available if you find you need more space for your things. Calirosa offers one and two-bedroom apartment layouts, and if you're curious, you can look at the "Luma Floor Plan" and try out their "Panoskin Tour" to get a sense of what the places look like inside. There's a business center with Wi-Fi across the property, a clubhouse, lounge/game room, fitness center with 24/7 access, swimming pool, and even a hot tub for those who enjoy relaxing, with a grilling station and dining areas when you want to gather with neighbors. Residents can use the Resident Portal to take care of community matters, and the full-time activity director keeps the calendar full of daily events, art classes, offsite trips, trivia, happy hours, social gatherings, and parties, so there's always something to do and someone to meet if that's what you like.
If you want some spiritual time, onsite devotional services are held, and for those needing more help, the community also provides assisted living, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing in addition to independent living, and they'll handle medication management and have ground-floor units if stairs are hard for you. The apartments have modern features like 9-foot ceilings, spacious walk-in closets, air-conditioning, full kitchens, and bathtubs, and the whole place is built with energy-efficient appliances and other green features to keep things eco-friendly. Calirosa has 178 apartments, opened in 2022, and was recognized with awards such as the Grand Aurora Award in 2022 and a merit award in the 2023 Parade of Homes, and the high scores for resident satisfaction and retention show that people tend to stay, which says something about the place feeling comfortable and welcoming. The community is managed by Epoch and is part of a group that includes Monterey Pointe, Providence Living at Hunter's Creek, GreenLeaf Assisted Living, and Spring Pine LLC, so it's got that network feel if you want options.
