Lansdowne Woods of Virginia sits in Lansdowne, Virginia, and serves adults 55 and over who want an active lifestyle in a gated, resort-style condominium community. The residences are privately owned, so there's no assisted living or continuing care on site, but you'll find spacious two- and three-bedroom floor plans, some of the largest in the area, with dens, libraries, glass-enclosed sunrooms or balconies, and everything's set up for a maintenance-free life, meaning there are professional staff who handle cleaning, engineering, and even semi-annual HVAC inspections. Regular condo fees cover things like high-definition cable TV, high-speed internet, water utilities, and plenty of parking-indoors and outdoors-for residents and guests.
The community includes pet-friendly policies for cats and dogs, and it's designed so people can age in place comfortably, surrounded by beautiful, landscaped grounds, with walking paths, parks, and outdoor spaces nearby, and everything's overseen by a management team, a general manager, and resident-elected board with advisory committees, which work together to keep the community running smoothly, set the rules, and plan events. Safety's important, so there's 24-hour gated security and a call system in every unit.
Residents keep busy at the LWVA Clubhouse, which hosts movies, concerts, art in the studio, woodworking in the shop, ceramics, billiards, and there's even a chapel for religious services, a hair salon, a massage room, a Wii gaming center, and fitness areas with an indoor pool, aerobic dance floor, a tennis court on the roof, plus all kinds of rooms for gatherings and events. There's free internet in community spaces and a library for quieter times, as well as group activities, clubs, movie nights, musical bingo, and happy hour from Wednesday through Saturday. The restaurant, Marie De La Fleur, is open several days each week-offering nutritious chef-prepared meals and a heat-and-serve meal delivery service for those who'd rather eat at home.
Transportation's convenient, with a free shuttle bus that takes groups to shopping, events, and local attractions, and there's scheduled healthcare access since Leesburg Sterling Family Practice sits less than half a mile away. Residents can join fitness classes, art workshops, and many other programs, or use the activity rooms, clubhouse, and common areas for socializing or quiet reflection. People can serve on committees, attend events, or simply enjoy the landscaped setting.
The culture aims to stay friendly and welcoming, with staff and neighbors looking out for each other, and the activity director makes sure there are always things to do. Amenities like a 24-hour call system, well-maintained buildings, and large, bright living spaces make it easy to feel comfortable, and regular community awards show that people value the social atmosphere, the organized care, and all the little things that help them stay active, safe, and engaged, whether it's through walking paths, social programs, or just spending a quiet afternoon in a sunroom looking out over the grounds.
