Emerald Cottages of Round Rock sits near Teravista Golf Course on Teravista Club Drive, close to parks, shopping, dining, offices, and medical spots. The community offers 32 independent living cottages in a single-story building, with a quiet, friendly environment where people look out for each other, and the staff stays trained and helpful while people can keep their own routines and choices. The cottages come in different sizes-1, 2, or 3 bedrooms-with walk-in showers, whirlpool and garden tubs, granite or stone countertops, two-inch faux wood blinds, wood floors, and roomy walk-in closets that let folks store what they need just where they want without bumping into things. Each cottage has its own washer and dryer, full kitchen with stainless-steel appliances, eat-in kitchen area, and attached garage, so nobody has to haul groceries or laundry far. Residents set up their own electric bill through the city while the property handles water. Some people prefer the private patios for a bit of fresh air, and others like the raised ceilings in living areas for a light, open feeling. Ceiling fans in bedrooms and living areas, as well as individual climate controls and roomy living spaces, help keep everyone comfortable year round.
Residents can bring up to two small pets under 25 pounds each, as long as breed guidelines are followed, which means cats and most small dogs are common neighbors, and the walking trails around the property make daily strolls easy. The wide hallways and 36-inch doors make the cottages easy to get around, even for people who need walkers or wheelchairs, because all the cottages are built on one level with no stairs at all. Extra storage rooms help folks keep their things tidy, while big laundry rooms fit full-size washer and dryer units for handling weekly washing without a trip anywhere else.
The staff organizes lots of social events, including games, arts and crafts, and seasonal activities, with fitness programs like yoga, stretching, and chair exercise, plus educational health sessions and outdoor sports like golf or lawn games, so neighbors can stay active in mind and body. The community hosts weekly resident meals-each person pays their own way-since there's no central cafeteria or daily meal plan, but most folks seem to like making their own food in their own kitchen, though it sure is nice to sit down together with neighbors once in a while. There's cable and internet access in each cottage for news and entertainment, and guests can always find a place to park near the front, whether it's visiting family or friends from the neighborhood.
Maintenance, repair, housekeeping, and pest control services all help people spend less time worrying about chores and more time enjoying quiet, safe walks or their favorite hobby. The community follows a non-smoking policy and accepts check payments for rent and care. Staff keep things running smooth, focusing on helping residents stay as independent as possible, with plenty of planned activities for meeting people and forming friendships over time. Folks say the staff are friendly and give good help, with most reviews being very positive and highlighting the peaceful setting with kind neighbors.
