Arbor Gate sits in Myerstown, PA, as a 55+ retirement community where people can live independently and enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle with modern homes, cozy townhouses, and spacious single-family houses, all tucked into peaceful, well-kept grounds. Residents get off-street parking on paved, average-width streets, city water and sewer services, and a quiet setting with a three-acre lake for fishing, boating, or just sitting outside on nice days. The grounds have manicured gardens and plenty of outdoor paths, plus unique features like plant care services, landscape design help, garden consultations, and even garden centers where you can learn about and buy supplies for gardening, which is useful with the cold Zone 5 climate there. The place runs under the care of Hometown America and has staff like Marilyn Mullen, with an on-site office to address resident needs. The rent for home lots ranges between $360 and $740 a month, and trash pickup and water are included in that price.
There are community spaces for both social and personal activities, like a fitness center, game room, movie theater, coffee shop, kitchen, arts and activity rooms, library, card room, salon, wellness spa, and lake views all around. Residents get access to daily scheduled activities and some resident-run events, along with off-site trips and arts and crafts programs. The place keeps people connected with amenities such as Wi-Fi, cable TV, in-room kitchenettes, air conditioning, private bathrooms, and on-call maintenance. Dining services stand out for being flexible, with all-day dining, a restaurant-style setting, menu options that fit allergies or diabetes, and a cozy dining room for everyone. House cleaning, move-in help, laundry or dry cleaning, and concierge support are all part of daily living to keep things easy. For safety, a 24-hour call system and supervision help seniors feel secure, and memory care services and help with medication, dressing, and bathing are there for those who need it.
The community enjoys easy access to hiking and biking trails, like the Lebanon Valley Rails to Trails, and tries to create a friendly, community-focused environment. People looking for comfort, convenience, and a strong sense of neighborliness find those things here. Arbor Gate gets high marks in reviews, often noted for its helpful programs and clean, pleasant atmosphere. There's always something to do or enjoy, from fitness classes and wellness programs to sitting by the lake or taking part in gardening workshops meant for both fun and learning, and with professional management on site, life stays comfortable and as low-maintenance as seniors like it.
