Seldom Seen Acres in Powell, Ohio, offers a residential condominium setting designed for adults aged 55 and older, and the place really does want folks to keep active and engaged, so there are walking and bicycle paths winding through the property, neat sidewalks, and gated entrances that keep things private and secure without feeling closed off or stuffy, and if you like to swim or work out, there's a pool and a fitness center just for residents, plus a large clubhouse where neighbors gather for different community events and activities, and if you like outdoor time, there's plenty of common space too, with nice landscaping and a big patio that's great for sitting a spell. The condos were built in 2007, not brand new but solid, usually with about 2,096 square feet inside, though some have finished basements and extra room, and many homes have a first-floor owner's suite complete with a Jacuzzi tub, a walk-in closet, gas fireplaces, and hardwood or a mix of carpet, ceramic, and vinyl flooring, and there's a gourmet kitchen with a dishwasher, gas range, refrigerator, and even custom trim work, so you get what you might expect in a good sized home.
The HOA manages things like lawn care, insurance, trash, and snow removal for a $376 monthly fee, so residents don't need to worry about chores, just like you'd hope. The lower level in many units features new LVP flooring and a big 110-inch home theater screen, along with a full bath and storage, and parking is easy too, since there's often a side-load garage with two spaces per unit. Seldom Seen Acres is built as a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), so along with independent living, there are assisted living services, memory care options, and help with things like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and a 24-hour call system adds peace of mind if help is ever needed. The community offers all-day dining in a nice restaurant-style dining room with options for allergies or diabetes and a professional chef handles the meals, and you'll find a library, game room, movie theater, and even a music program designed for residents, with regular movie nights and outdoor programs.
If you need housekeeping, laundry, concierge, or family support services, those are available too, and transportation and parking are handled on the property, with city water and public sewer for utilities. Seldom Seen Acres sits close to pharmacies, healthcare, dining, parks, and places of worship. Everyday living feels easy, with Wi-Fi, high-speed internet, cable TV, air conditioning, and private bathrooms in the residential units. Safety, support, and a community pace that doesn't feel rushed seem to be the main goals, and there's always something to do or someone to see, if you want.
