Cypress Ridge sits on a large 49.25-acre lot at 1050 Cypress Ridge Parkway in Arroyo Grande, where you'll notice mature cypress trees, lakes, and green landscaping that gives the place a peaceful, natural feeling, and you'll find about 380 homes inside the gated community, with security guards at the entrance and a guard house to help keep things safe. The HOA fee is $95 a month, and the management company takes care of things like community rules, the resident sign-in portal, and online payments, and you'll find committees for architecture, landscaping, and security making sure standards are met. Housekeeping, laundry, move-in help, concierge, and family support services are also available, so things go smoother for residents and their families.
Residents who need help with daily life can get assisted living and memory care; staff provides 24-hour supervision and a call system for emergencies, and caregivers help with bathing, dressing, medication, and transfers, with support for those who can't walk easily. Amenities include arts, activity, and game rooms, a library, fitness room, spa, sauna, and outdoor walking paths, and the community offers daily activities, some programs run by residents, plus outside programs, movie nights, a business room, fitness classes, and scheduled rides for those without transportation. The dining options are broad with a professional chef, restaurant-style and all-day dining, meals made for allergies and diabetes, and staff handles meal prep and service.
There's a big focus on events at Cypress Ridge, where the Pavilion, banquet hall, and outdoor lawns with wedding arches and hanging lights can host anything from weddings to reunions and business meetings, and you'll see spaces like the Cypress Lounge for smaller gatherings. The main dining hall has wood beams, big windows, and a fireplace, offering a warm spot for receptions or meetings, while outdoor event areas take in lake and cypress tree views under the sun. There's free parking, wheelchair access, tables and chairs set for events, a dance floor, and even a bridal suite and changing rooms for those special days. The grounds also include a golf course designed by Peter Jacobsen, plus scenic spots for gatherings and fire pits for evening relaxation.
Policies cover landscaping, exterior changes, animal restrictions, and drone rules, so everyone knows what's allowed, and community website and the portal help residents stay informed. People can use the park areas and picnic spaces, and you'll often see social clubs like the CR Golf and Social Club and CR Women's Golf Club hosting regular happenings. The professional staff supports both the daily needs of residents and the planning of memorable events, making Cypress Ridge a spot where seniors can find care, activities, and a sense of community, even if nothing's perfect anywhere, and everything's pretty straightforward here.
