The Cottages at Peach Creek is a senior living community for people 55 and older in University Place, WA, where residents find craftsman-style cottage homes with pitched roofs, shingle exteriors, and big, welcoming front porches, and after walking up the path you often see private patios and gardens that people tend themselves, with attached one- or two-car garages for each home, and folks really seem to appreciate spacious interiors, big living rooms with vaulted ceilings, two full-sized bedrooms-some places even have a den-and closets large enough for what you need. Each residence comes with a full-size washer and dryer, a full kitchen, including a refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, and disposal, plus gas fireplaces and efficient gas heat and hot water, and every unit sits alongside enclosed patios and gardens, where a little landscaping's included in the rent. They do allow pets, including one small or large dog and one cat per home, but there are weight limits.
Community rules say that utilities like cable, internet, electric, gas, water, and sewer aren't included or provided, so residents set that up themselves, and the pet policy is clear if someone wants to bring their animals. There's no smoking policy listed. Parking choices exist but go through the office for specifics. The property features a Community Center with a library that's well-stocked, a stacked stone fireplace, a full kitchen, entertainment and craft room, and indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, so people get together for coffee hour and potlucks, and you can tell a lot of folks enjoy relaxing there or chatting with neighbors.
Wheelchair accessible showers and bathtubs, along with wide doors and open layouts, make it easier for residents with mobility issues. The facility offers several kinds of care, including independent living in private cottages, assisted living services, memory care, skilled nursing, and medication management support. Onsite maintenance staff come in two days a week, and there's also nearby transportation services if you don't drive or need help getting around town, since the community sits close to hospitals, pharmacies, doctors, parks, cafes, restaurants, and places of worship.
A lease deposit is $1,500, and details around lease length or types of leases are available through management since every situation's a bit different. Floor plans come in 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom styles with about 1,150 square feet, and unit statuses are labeled "Available," "Rented," or "View" with identifiers like 04D / 7423 or 10B / 7410 for the particular homes. Residents have their own private parking, garages, patios, and secure homes, and more specific information about amenities comes from the office. The place is quiet and friendly, and the grounds are tidy and well-maintained, which suits people looking for a simpler, more relaxed community in University Place.
