Francis Meadows stands three stories tall at 2209 Browns Lake Dr. in Burlington, Wisconsin, where the quiet setting is surrounded by 160 acres of fields and a wood preserve, giving a lot of peaceful views right outside your window, so residents can see trees and wildlife without having to leave home. This place is an independent senior living community for adults 62 and older, though sometimes information says 55 and up, but the main thing is Francis Meadows provides apartment living for active seniors who can live on their own and want a worry-free, comfortable space, with a mix of privacy and neighborly company, and you'll find both one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments to choose from, with some of the homes coming with patios or balconies, washer and dryer hookups, dishwashers, and individually controlled heat and air conditioning, plus there's elevator access in the building, so getting to your unit or community areas isn't a chore.
The building is smoke-free throughout, and there are friendly policies letting residents have cats, which is nice for folks who love a little company, and you'll find underground garage parking, a designated garage lot with parking fees, and also options for street parking, with key fob entry for added peace of mind. Francis Meadows provides on-site laundry for residents who prefer not to use machines in their own apartment, and there's 24-hour maintenance service along with professional management by Horizon Property Management Services, which has a reputation for being helpful and responsive, and their staff gets described as joyful and kind, both to residents and visitors alike, creating a calm, welcoming atmosphere.
Community features include a dining area, lounge, library, club room, community patio, and a clubhouse, with plenty of spaces to read, relax, or chat, while organized recreational, fitness, and enriching activities run throughout the week to keep people busy and engaged, both on-site and through planned outings, helping seniors stay social, active, and involved. There's a sense of security and neighborliness, as the staff works round the clock for emergency maintenance, and mailboxes are conveniently located inside the building. Francis Meadows lets residents pay bills through online portals, which is handy for families helping out, and that little bit of technology can make day-to-day life smoother.
Living here, you get quick access to grocery stores, restaurants, and services in Burlington, so errands don't become a hassle, and you'll find most of what you need just a short drive away. The setup leans toward independent living, but there's support if you need a hand with everyday activities, such as bathing, dressing, or taking medicine, though the community is really suited for generally healthy, active seniors. With more than 35 years of experience in senior living, Horizon keeps things running smoothly, making Francis Meadows a straightforward, maintenance-free living choice, rooted in comfort and practicality, letting people enjoy their retirement years with as much privacy, leisure, and social opportunity as they want.
