Bay Ridge sits in a gated 55+ community on Aquidneck Island, and the condominium-style residence was built in 2014 with 60 units, each offering single-level living, so you get two bedrooms and three full baths in a quiet, planned development. These units, including end unit options, all have attached garages with covered parking spaces and more parking for guests or a second car, and there's paved driveways and outdoor features like a deck, a covered front porch, and a balcony for you to enjoy some fresh air or have a friend over to sit and talk. Inside, you'll find features like cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, a gas fireplace in the living and dining area, and a full finished basement with extra storage space, plus the gas forced air heating system and central air conditioning help keep things comfortable through all the seasons.
The kitchen comes with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinets, a center island, and adjoining laundry area, and some floor plans, like the Sachuest, include sliding glass doors with plantation shutters which open to the deck. Master bedrooms typically have walk-in closets and private bathrooms with tiled showers. For the monthly costs, condo taxes are included, and the maintenance fee covers building insurance, and the utilities package includes hydro and water, and there are underground utilities, sewer, and electric service all hooked up.
Bay Ridge allows pets under certain policies, and the community is active, offering a clubhouse with a gym, a recreation room, a library, a community dining room, and spaces for scheduled activities and programs, so people can join in on fitness classes, music, movie nights, outdoor walking paths, and resident-organized events if they like. Outdoors, the amenities include an in-ground pool, tennis and pickleball courts, bocce, and a garden area, so people have lots of choices to stay busy or socialize. The community sits near a marina, golf, shopping, public transportation, and highway access, with local hospitals and schools not far away, so it feels pretty central too.
There are some services available, like housekeeping, meal preparation with allergy-friendly and diabetes-friendly food options, and laundry. Support with bathing or dressing and a 24-hour call system are part of what's provided. There's skilled supervision and a range of care and medical services if needed, and security is a feature with an owned system. Bay Ridge really does offer people a comfortable setting with practical features and a mix of ways to stay involved in a community while having the ease of single-level condo living.
