    Welcoming community with excellent staff

    I moved into this 65+ community and feel right at home. The staff are outstanding-friendly, caring, responsive (even 24/7), and the manager is compassionate and prompt. The grounds and apartments are beautiful, very clean, well-kept and secure; my two-bedroom with balcony is comfortable and pet-friendly. There's a strong, family-like sense of community, lots of activities (pool, clubhouse, gym, crafts, bus), and it's peaceful and safe. Move-in was easy. Only small downside: I'd prefer lighter kitchen cabinets. Highly recommend.

    About Schuyler Commons

    Schuyler Commons sits in a quiet and historic part of Utica, NY, where seniors aged 55 and older can enjoy peaceful, private apartments with many features to make life easier like step-free showers, kitchen appliances, and in-unit internet. Schuyler Commons connects with local care like Mohawk Valley Health System at St. Elizabeth Campus and St. Luke's Campus, plus nearby pharmacies including Utica Pharmacy, Walgreens Pharmacy, and Parkway Drugs, which helps residents manage their health needs without much hassle. The staff are friendly and well-trained, ready to help with daily needs while supporting each person's independence and choices. The security system, building maintenance, and regular snow removal let people keep up with their own activities both inside and outside, while letting them feel safe.

    The community keeps a structured schedule of things to do-fitness classes like yoga, literary and music events, spiritual gatherings, arts and crafts, even movies and games-so there's always a chance to stay active and make friends, whether at the clubhouse, the indoor pool, the craft room, the theater, or the game room. Residents can use the fitness center, swim laps, garden in raised beds, or walk the paths and hiking areas. There's a community fireplace, a salon for visits and haircuts, and common spaces for hobbies and games. Pets are allowed, and there's even a dog run for pet owners. For those who like to go out, community transportation helps with trips to shops, nearby parks, golf courses, and local restaurants or entertainment venues.

    Schuyler Commons keeps a calm, neighborly atmosphere where folks can pursue hobbies, join social gatherings, or just relax-everyone decides what fits them best. The LIFE program encourages whole-body wellness based on seven lifestyle values, helping folks live fully and keep their independence. Apartments are designed for easy living without heavy upkeep, and community events fill the calendar for anyone wanting to join in. The on-site office is open weekdays, and the walk score shows you'll likely need a car for errands, but the location means you're near many services-including schools and shopping centers-even while enjoying a quiet home life. Schuyler Commons, managed by Allure Active Adult Communities, LLC and connected to Meta Platforms, Inc. for digital services, fits seniors looking for a safe, friendly community with lots to do and staff ready to help, but it doesn't claim to do everything for everyone, just tries to make each day a little easier and more enjoyable for those who live there.
