The Village at Syringa Gardens sits in Post Falls, Idaho, in a quiet gated community for people age 55 and over, right where North Syringa Street meets Reddington Way, and the homes here are built for easy living with single-level layouts, open floor plans, and fenced backyards, and there's even a place for a grill and a bit of grass for relaxing or a little gardening if that's your thing. The community offers a real home feel with single-family homes, studio accommodations, and a few model names like Tulip, Shooting Star, Lily, Trillium, and Syringa, and the floor plans range from about 1,006 to 1,514 square feet, so you've got choices for one to three bedrooms, depending on what you need. The homes come with things like central air conditioning, forced air gas heating, washer and dryer, stainless steel appliances, and high-speed internet, and most places have their own driveways, attached two-car garages, covered porches and patios, and vinyl siding for low upkeep, which is nice for anyone wanting to avoid a lot of work outside, and the HOA covers things like snow removal and yard maintenance.
The Village at Syringa Gardens has a small, tight-knit feeling, with space for just six residents in some parts, so people tend to know their neighbors, and with 24-hour staff-including caregivers and clinicians-plus a call system in every apartment, folks here can get help right when it's needed, whether it's with bathing, meal prep, dressing, or medications, and there are also respite care options for people who need short-term stays or a break from their usual caregivers. They offer specialized help for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with memory care neighborhoods that are safe and monitored, so families feel better about safety, and personal care plans are written for each person so support fits each resident's needs. The setting includes apartment-style units with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and telephone, and some rooms are furnished. They also provide regular housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance, so daily chores aren't a worry.
Meals are part of daily life, and there are chef-prepared options served in the dining room, available all day, with allergy-friendly and diabetic-friendly choices, and people whose diets need special attention are taken into account, with staff ready to help with meals if needed. The activity schedule is relaxed but steady, with wellness programs, fitness spaces, an arts room, movie nights, a spa and salon, and music programming, plus a community room for group gatherings, a game room, and walking paths weaving through gardens and out into community green spaces. There are also trails for biking and walking that connect to a nearby seven-acre park, and you'll sometimes see residents tending garden beds or just enjoying the fresh air outside.
Folks who need a ride to shops, appointments, or outings can use the scheduled transportation, and there's easy access to local places like Prairie Falls Golf Club, restaurants, and the pretty downtown of Coeur d'Alene, which is about a 20-minute drive away. There's also easy access to Interstate 90 for trips out of town, and Spokane International Airport isn't too far either. Safety matters here, so the community is gated, the entrances are controlled, and the grounds have security features in place, while the buildings are solidly built with frame and concrete, and each residence features territorial and neighborhood views.
The Village at Syringa Gardens doesn't have a big clubhouse, but instead focuses on outdoor spaces, walking paths, and the kinds of daily comforts that help people stay independent with just the right amount of help, and you'll find that life slows down here, routines are respected, and neighbors tend to watch out for each other, making for a peaceful setting for retirement or senior living in Kootenai County.
