La Grange Pointe sits right in the heart of downtown La Grange, Illinois, on the corner of LaGrange Road and Cossitt Avenue, just across from the old movie theater, so you've got shops, restaurants, banks, and churches all just steps away, and if you want to head into Chicago, the Metra train station is close by. This is a smaller, boutique-style retirement community, having only 30 apartments for seniors aged 62 and older, and they set things up to let folks keep their freedom and independence, since living here means you don't have to worry about home maintenance or yard work, and you can enjoy a secure, maintenance-free apartment. There's a variety of one-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans with some units even having private patios, large utility closets with washer and dryer hook-ups, and full kitchens equipped with all-electric appliances, so you can cook when you want, and the heat and air conditioning in every apartment is easy to control on your own, plus the windows are big and easy to open. The building's made with sound-resistant walls, has safety features like fire alarms, smoke detectors, emergency pull cords in every apartment, and a 24-hour emergency call system, so families don't have to worry, and everything's built to keep things quieter and more private.
You'll find internet included and cable hook-ups ready in every room, but cable service isn't included, and every apartment comes with a telephone/data hookup too, plus simple things like raised electrical outlets and individually lighted entryways. Pets are welcome, but cats aren't allowed, and the building keeps entry secure, even offering covered parking, a greenhouse, and storage spaces if you need them. Residents get weekly housekeeping, on-site maintenance, and transportation options, and there's always something going on for folks who want to stay busy, with regular social and cultural activities, live entertainment, exercise classes, happy hours, celebratory meals, game nights, and planned outings in the community. The exercise room, library, computer room, party/game rooms, TV parlor, rooftop patio, and resident courtyard are all there for anyone who wants them, so there's space to gather, relax, or meet with neighbors, and if you like gardening, there's even a greenhouse. Daily continental breakfast is served, and laundry can be done either in-unit if you bring your own machines or in the community laundry room.
La Grange Pointe has special deals with nearby shops and restaurants so residents can get discounts, and the building partners with local businesses to give folks some perks. The apartments are all on the upper three floors, with a handy elevator in the middle of the building so walking isn't too much, and the corridors are short, making it easy to get from place to place. A non-refundable move-in fee of $5,000 is part of the cost, but residents get access to all the luxury features and programs that focus on keeping people active, social, and connected to the broader La Grange community. The building's designed for those who are mainly independent but want a lifestyle with less worry and a little more ease, so people can keep up their own routines, join in when they want, and stay as independent as possible for as long as possible.
