Pets are welcome with some restrictions, and all units have modern features like air conditioning, dishwashers, and elevators, so it feels like home but with less worry about chores or mobility. The building follows a smoke-free policy indoors, and offers extra help for people affected by secondhand smoke, since it's promoted and managed by Live Smoke Free, who also provide information to educate residents and staff about staying smoke-free.
