Lakeshore at Centerra is a senior living community built in 2005, with buildings made of a wood frame and a composition roof, and it's all set on one story for easier access, so there's no going up and down stairs, and it's got a mix of contemporary and ranch architectural styles that give it a nice, modern look while keeping things simple and easy to maintain. The condos have 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a full bath and a half bath, with the primary bedroom having its own en-suite bathroom and a walk-in closet, and there's a second bedroom that works well for guests or a home office. Living spaces are open and filled with natural light thanks to 9-foot and vaulted ceilings and large windows with coverings, and there's an eat-in kitchen that connects right to the main living area, and in the kitchen, you'll find a wraparound counter, white appliances, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, an electric range/oven, a microwave, and a disposal, as well as a laundry area with washer and dryer already in the unit or with hookups if you want to bring your own. The flooring is luxury vinyl plank, and some units have new paint and wood floors throughout, so it's easy to clean and looks tidy.
The main floor units offer a covered patio or a private balcony, and from there you get good waterfront views, as the property backs up to a pond or lake and features water-facing windows, so you can watch the water and enjoy the view, or just go for a walk on the scenic trails around Houts Reservoir and Equalizer Lake, which are close by. There's a pool right beside some of the units, and a clubhouse within walking distance, along with access to lakes, trails, and shopping and dining, so it's easy to stay active or run errands without having to travel far. Each condo has a detached one-car garage, a big storage closet off the patio or balcony for extra things, and an extra parking pass, which can be handy for visitors or a second car.
Heating and cooling are covered with forced air heating and central air conditioning, and there's a cozy gas fireplace in the main living room for cooler nights. The units come with smoke detectors installed for safety, and city water and sewer services, and the utilities include electricity and natural gas, which is pretty standard. Services include trash and snow removal, maintenance for the grounds and the buildings, and water and sewer, handled by the management, so residents don't have to worry about the basics.
Lakeshore at Centerra is set up as a senior community and offers a range of care options, from independent living and assisted living to memory care and nursing home services, so people can continue to live there as their needs change, and it's known as a continuing care retirement community.
