Tower Grove Manor sits in the heart of historic South Saint Louis, right next to grocery stores and across the street from Tower Grove Park, and you get nice views of these leafy grounds from several of the apartments, which come in studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom sizes, each with full kitchens, walk-in closets, and bathrooms, plus some even have balconies, patio, or garden features, so you don't feel cramped. The place is a 55+ independent living community, though some information about specific services and care types isn't too easy to find, and you'll find a mix of active seniors living here because they want maintenance-free life with meals, all utilities included (except cable and phone), WiFi in common areas, housekeeping, laundry rooms on the lower level, and coin machines-though at times the elevator acts up more than folks would like, which means you might use the stairs more often than not.
The Manor has attached garage parking, outdoor parking options, and it welcomes dogs and cats, with a pet park onsite for walks or socializing, whether your dog is small or large. For those who need spiritual nourishment, you can attend religious or devotional services right in the building, and there's a community room, party lounge, library with plenty of books, a fitness room, and activity rooms where residents join in games like Bridge and Canasta, Tai chi, walking groups, and seminars about health, or even enjoy movie nights, cocktail hours, birthday celebrations, potlucks, and trips out into the St. Louis community, so there's always something on the calendar if you like staying busy. Tower Grove Manor sits close to plenty of shops, entertainment, restaurants, and even healthcare centers, so you're not far from what you need, and there's always good food in the dining room-starters like Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad or Seafood Bisque, entrees like Barbecued Shrimp or Crab Cakes, and desserts such as Tapioca Pudding or Almond Cake, with sides like Sautéed Spinach and Roasted Broccoli, making mealtimes nice and relaxed.
The apartments come with ceiling fans, carpeting or vinyl floors, and you get utilities like electricity, garbage, heat, hot water, and water in the rent, making expenses easier to manage, though cable and phone are not included. You'll find shared laundry on site, but each unit has a fridge for convenience, and 24-hour emergency assistance plus security gives some peace of mind. There's a landscaped courtyard for sitting in peace or meeting friends, movie rooms for group entertainment, daily activities planned for those who wish to join, and you can rent out guest suites for overnight visitors. Residents arrange for third-party care if needed, and move-in coordination helps new residents settle in quicker. Smoking is allowed in private residences, but most common areas are shared, light-filled, and comfortable for gatherings or quiet time alike, and you can look out on the park or garden any time you like from many parts of the building. People living at Tower Grove Manor take part in community life, sharing good meals, activities, and plenty of choices for enjoying their days, whether it's a card game, a walk in the park, reading in the library, or just enjoying dessert with friends.
