The Bridgemoor

The Bridgemoor at DeSoto sits on a large 27-acre campus with 31 separate buildings and provides senior living for active older adults in suburban Dallas, at 431 West Wintergreen Road in DeSoto, Texas, and the community focuses on independent living but also offers memory care and other support options if people need them, so there is a mix of care types though most people here choose apartment living with different layouts including studios, one to five bedrooms, and townhome styles, with units ranging in size from 813 to 1,150 square feet, and specific layouts like 1 Bed, 1 Bath, 1.5 Bath, and several types of 2-bedroom floor plans with or without dens, plus you can choose from private attached or detached garages if you want, and there's never a step getting into the units since they're built all on one level. The community, which opened around 2009 or 2010, has a total of 240 apartments, and the rent averages about $1,029 per month for independent living with no deposit required, only a $100 application fee, and there are sometimes move-in specials and all-inclusive rent options, which makes things a little easier for folks living on a fixed income. Factory features like in-home washer and dryer hookups, private balconies or patios, and premium wood-plank flooring make daily life simpler, and many units are pet friendly so both cats and dogs are welcome, which means a lot for people who want to bring their companions with them. The property is fully gated with a perimeter fence, gated access, and options for private garages, which helps many residents feel safer and gives some added privacy, and there are scheduled shuttles to nearby shops, restaurants, and cafés for those who don't drive. Inside, residents find things like a business center, a library, the main clubhouse with a large dining area, a movie theater, a gymnasium, a beauty salon, a fully equipped fitness center, and a resort-style pool with a heated spa for relaxation; there are also recreational areas, a theater room, free WiFi common areas, and regular social activities to keep folks engaged, plus package acceptance and housekeeping help to take care of chores. For people who need a little support, the staff can help with medication management, and there's a 24-hour call system for health needs, so someone is always available for emergencies. The community puts effort into keeping life active and social by organizing outings and activities, and you can always take a virtual tour or schedule an in-person visit to see what daily life looks like and meet staff and residents.
