Everything You Need and More

Home is where the heart is, and at Applewood, that’s in our cottages. There are only a limited number of cottages available, and each offers residents the conveniences and comforts of their own home: a yard for gardening, an attached garage to avoid winter chills, and plenty of room to roam. While our cottages are the perfect place for residents to relax, there’s plenty to do just outside their doors with easy access to Applewood’s dining rooms, fitness center, pool, gardens and other amenities within walking distance.
