Country Manor Adult Community sits on 70 acres in Shippensburg, Pennsylvania, where the neighborhood's safe and quiet, there are mature trees, and the property's on a corner lot, so there's some room to breathe and you get that feeling of plenty of space, and it's the kind of place that welcomes residents who are 55 and older, making it easy for folks looking for age-restricted living to find comfort. The community includes about 130 single-family and manufactured homes, with the newer homes built as recently as 2019, and these homes range from 1,230 to 1,876 square feet with most having two bedrooms, two baths, attached garages, and sometimes a den which people can turn into another bedroom, an office, or however they want. The homes keep things simple with a single-story layout, central air, forced air gas heating, and no basement or fireplace in the living units, but plenty of updates like open-concept living areas, kitchen islands with lots of cabinetry, handy appliances like washer, dryer, fridge, stove, dishwasher, and microwave, plus luxury vinyl plank flooring in shared spaces and soft carpet in bedrooms, and for anyone wanting to sit outside, the covered porches make it nice to enjoy the outdoors while looking out over quiet surroundings.
Around the neighborhood, Country Manor Adult Community has a friendly reputation for being pet-friendly and family-friendly since there are playgrounds for visiting grandkids and open areas for walks with pets. Community life centers on a big clubhouse, which has a fireplace lounge, a library, a multipurpose room, tables for games, parties, and social events, a catering kitchen for get-togethers, and even a fitness room for group exercise routines, so people don't have to leave to find activities to do or folks to talk to, and outside, there's a gazebo by a fishing pond, shuffleboard courts, walking and biking trails, and easy, landscaped grounds for strolling, so there's always somewhere peaceful to walk or watch birds or sit with neighbors.
Monthly homeowners' association dues cover common area maintenance, snow removal, water, sewer, and trash, so many ongoing costs stay simple and steady, and the homes here get utilities like public water, public sewer, central heat and AC, and there's an oversized driveway at most homes that'll fit up to four cars, which is useful when family comes by. There's no pool and no special accessibility features built into the homes, and the zoning is residential with the units falling under manufactured home regulations. Protections against housing and employment discrimination for orientation and gender identity apply throughout the area, which gives peace of mind for many.
For those needing a bit more help, staff can offer support with daily routines, medication reminders, meals, and personal care, so adults can remain as independent as possible, living with dignity, and respite care is available too if a family caregiver needs a break for a short while. The community's list of amenities and services is made for adult and senior needs, focusing on enjoyment, comfort, security, and ways to stay active and social, but there's no mention of specific memory care or skilled nursing on site. The property association is listed as COUNTRYSIDE MHPO, lot rent includes water, sewer, and trash, and residents finance with either cash or conventional loans, with an exclusive right to sell agreement in place for home sellers.
Country Manor Adult Community is meant for those looking for straightforward retirement living in a well-kept, age-restricted neighborhood, where daily life stays comfortable and convenient, and where neighbors care about maintaining a friendly, relaxed atmosphere for everyone.
