Uptown Commons is a friendly, welcoming community in the heart of Chilton, meant for adults aged 55 and older, and you'll find both one- and two-bedroom apartments here, with 64 units across Uptown Commons I & II, built between 2018 and 2019. Both men and women are welcome in these homes, which have features like walk-in closets, ceiling fans, air conditioning, wheelchair accessible showers, in-unit laundry, dishwashers, and private patios or balconies, and some have extra storage. Each apartment's part of a smoke-free community where both cats and dogs are allowed if you prefer a pet around, and there's assigned garage parking along with plenty of resident parking outside, and a focus on being accessible by offering wheelchair-friendly spaces and elevators to help everyone get around.
You'll see lots of opportunities for socializing-there's a club room where residents gather for potlucks, card games, coffee chats, and regular holiday celebrations, while other spaces, including both indoor and outdoor common areas, are used for activities, fitness, and devotional gatherings. People who like to get out enjoy both on-site and off-site experiences, and the community provides complimentary transportation for those trips or medical appointments.
Uptown Commons offers independent senior living as well as options for assisted living, memory care, and nursing care if needed, and they support aging in place, meaning that residents can stay here even if their care needs change over time. There's also respite care if someone needs a short stay, plus hospice services when that becomes necessary. Professional management, available 24-hour maintenance, a business center, fitness center, beauty salon, and secure key fob access are all part of the package, and there's internet access and an online portal to help keep things organized and connected.
This place has always put care into being a good part of the neighborhood-it came about through a partnership between the city, WHEDA, and Horizon, and the development helped revitalize the old uptown commercial district. The builders recycled concrete, wood, and iron, keeping over 20 tons of material out of the landfill during construction, so the project tried to be thoughtful from the start. Residents in Uptown Commons are mostly age 55 and up, and there are income-eligible units for those needing affordable housing, plus Section 8 is accepted for those who qualify. Pride in the building's upkeep and a steady feeling of belonging are common, and lots of folks appreciate the easy walk to local shops, churches, restaurants, and services right on Main Street.
