The Courtyards on Lake Norman is a senior living community in Cornelius, just off Catawba Avenue and Nantz Road, with 67 private courtyard ranch homes designed for low maintenance living, and they've got a mix of options like independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even a continuing care retirement community so folks can age in place without moving around all the time. The homes here are single-story, built in 2016, with open floorplans, walk-in closets, kitchens with islands and pantries, tray ceilings, skylights, fireplaces in the great room, and hardwood, tile, or carpet flooring, plus two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a bonus room for an office or flex space, and each has an oversized two-car garage with door opener and keypad entry for convenience. On the outside, homes use fiber cement and stone, have a slab foundation with composition roofs, and the community takes care of lawn maintenance, fenced yards, and in-ground irrigation, while inside you'll also find appliances like dishwashers, microwaves, refrigerators, and electric cooktops, along with central air, electric water heaters, and city-provided sewer, water, and cable, and you get about 1,776 up to 2,643 square feet of living space depending on the model.
Residents can choose suite or semi-private accommodations if they're in independent or assisted living, and there's help with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, medication, and meals, with professional chefs ready to prepare all-day dining including options for allergies and diabetes, with restaurant-style dining rooms that make it easy to join friends or family. Memory care here focuses on safety with 24-hour support and specialized programs for people with Alzheimer's and dementia, and they've got memory-enhancing activities and a secure environment. There's skilled nursing for folks who need more help, including 24/7 medical support, comprehensive healthcare, rehab, wound care, and non-ambulatory care for those who can't move around too well.
Social life and wellness are part of the community, especially around the Twin Mills Club, where you'll find a fully furnished clubhouse, pool, fitness center, spa, game room, card room, reading room, arts and crafts spaces, business center, and library, and then outside there are walking paths, lake access, and a pond, plus group activities, outdoor programs, and events. There's move-in help, housekeeping, laundry including dry cleaning, concierge services, transportation, parking, and support for families-so people can live how they like with as much help as they need. The homes come with features like insulated windows for energy savings, cable pre-wiring, fireplaces, and accessibility like pool power lift and handicap access, and the neighborhood is open to those 55 and older but does allow younger residents, with HOA dues set at $308 a month managed by CSI Community Management.
The Courtyards on Lake Norman sits close to the actual lake, beaches like Jetton Park and Ramsey Creek, a dog park, shops, and restaurants, with access to nearby public schools including J V Washam Elementary, Bailey Middle, and William Amos Hough High. Residents have opportunities for fitness, recreation, even lake and beach access at Ramsey Creek Park, and the neighborhood offers a quiet, maintenance-free lifestyle in well-built homes with thoughtful features, where support and health care adapt as needs change over time. If someone needs to sell quickly, they also offer a service to get a cash offer in three minutes, so it's been set up to make things as simple as possible for everyday living as needs change.
