Regal Oaks is a senior living apartment community for independent seniors aged 55 and older, located in the Westgate neighborhood about two miles from downtown Toledo, and it's tucked away among mature oaks which gives it a peaceful setting if you like being close to nature but still want to be near town, and it's made up of spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments with several different floor plans like The Aspen, The Oak, The Maple, The Birch, and The Sequoia-some have large living rooms and dining areas and all apartments come with large closets, sometimes even walk-in ones, and the kitchens have all the main appliances you might need like a dishwasher, garbage disposal, microwave, refrigerator, range, and oven, and some units even have the option for gas fireplaces if you'd want some extra warmth and comfort, while every floor in the building is equipped with laundry facilities so there's no need to go far for washing clothes.
The building has several accessibility features like elevator access and wheelchair-friendly rooms, and it's a controlled access building with locked entries and an electronic system that lets residents grant entry from their home or cellphone, so security measures do seem to be in place, plus covered parking and a parking garage are available for residents who want to keep their vehicles out of the weather, and for those who like to be outside, every apartment has its own private oversized balcony-many of these overlook wooded grounds or the swimming pool and are roomy enough for a chair or two, some pots for gardening, or maybe even just a place to sit with a drink in the evening and watch the trees.
For staying active or social, residents have access to a state-of-the-art exercise facility, a club room, and well-lit walking grounds for evening strolls or for anyone who likes to spend time outside, and Regal Oaks also has a resort-style sparkling pool and deck open from May through August, so the place does have spots for both quiet and activity, and heating, cooling, sewer, and water are included in the rent, so at least a few basics are handled for you.
The building is pet-friendly and allows cats and small dogs, but not large dogs, so people with pets should keep that in mind, and rapid response maintenance is available, with most repairs handled within a day and 24-hour emergency services if something comes up suddenly, which can give some peace of mind.
All apartments have central air conditioning and gas heating, and the management and maintenance staff come from Schroeder Property Management, handling things like repairs and property care, but there's no information available about extra personal services or special care types beyond maintenance or the other basics already mentioned, and policy protections are in place for source of income, gender identity, and orientation due to federal law, so those are recognized.
The apartments themselves are fairly modern and have many updates, with large room sizes, bright natural light, and easy access to the elevator, and with everything being all on one or two floors it makes moving around pretty easy for most people, and the location in West Toledo's Westgate neighborhood puts it close to shopping, major roads, and local businesses while still being set apart from the busiest areas, and the community seems well suited for active, independent seniors who like a quiet, well-kept apartment with a bit of nature around them but don't need daily medical or personal care services.
