Grand Isle is known as FountainGlen Grand Isle and is a 55+ gated community, so the entry is controlled, which adds some peace of mind, and people have said that you can pay rent or make requests online, which some folks like these days because it's simpler than mailing things in or heading down to the management office, and there's also Amazon package lockers, so your deliveries stay safe and dry. The place really is pet-friendly, allowing both dogs and cats, and there's a pet park in the community which means residents can let their pets get some fresh air without needing to leave the grounds.
The apartments have tall ceilings and either a private patio or balcony, which gives a little extra space and maybe some fresh air on nice mornings, and all units come with fully equipped kitchens with granite countertops, full-size pantries, and there are even washer and dryer connections in some homes, with full sets in select ones, although there are also laundry facilities on site for everybody else. Closets in Grand Isle are roomy, so storage is not as much of a hassle, and each apartment has central heating and air conditioning to help with comfort all year round. Residents can get high-speed internet and cable services, which can be handy for entertainment or keeping in touch with family. There's carport parking available too, so cars are a little more protected when the weather turns bad.
People often gather in the community rooms like the recreation room, clubhouse, or lounge areas, and there's a library and business center inside as well, which seem to come in handy for anyone wanting to read or get small tasks done, and the theater means residents can sometimes watch a movie without driving out. A fitness center is on site, so if keeping active is important, that helps, and there's even a game room for anyone who enjoys social games.
Folks do seem to enjoy the outdoor spaces, especially the swimming pool, patio, and barbeque area, whether it's for cooling off in the summer or having a get-together with friends around the fire pit lounge. The property has 24-hour emergency maintenance, and you can reach staff using an online maintenance portal, plus there's on-site management in case any issues come up during the day. There are elevators on the property, so getting to higher floors is possible for those who need it. Grand Isle offers various care options, specialized programs, and health services, but anyone wanting more details about those should ask staff directly since some information isn't always obvious.
