Clear Creek Commons sits right in downtown Golden, Colorado, where seniors can enjoy an active lifestyle with easy walks or bike rides along Clear Creek, and you'll find shops, restaurants, hospitals, doctors, and rehab centers all nearby which makes daily life simple and convenient. This senior living community is for adults aged 55 or better and has an average rating of 7.9 out of 10. Residents can choose studio, one, or two bedroom apartments, all with fully equipped kitchens, carpeted floors, central air, in-home washers and dryers, and extra storage, plus you can get an extra storage unit for $15 a month or pay for garage parking at $100, while there's also unassigned surface parking if you'd rather skip the garage. Cats and dogs are allowed, but there are some breed restrictions and a two-pet limit per apartment, and the community always feels clean and well-kept with friendly, accessible staff who help out and are around when needed.
The leasing office runs Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but is closed on weekends, and new residents go through an application process with a fee of $28.75 per person, a $200 deposit, and proof of income at least 1.5 times the rent, where lease lengths can run anywhere from 6 to 15 months. Utilities like cable, electric, gas, water, trash, hot water, sewer, and internet are all included in the rent, which takes the guesswork out of monthly costs. The apartments give people the chance to cook for themselves if they want, but there's also an on-site restaurant discount program for going out, plus hassle-free transportation and a concierge service that brings packages right to the door. For those that enjoy fresh air, there's a large community patio with creek views, a community garden, fire pit, and spaces designed for relaxing or spending time with neighbors, along with a clubhouse, game room, and a courtyard.
Clear Creek Commons focuses on independent living for seniors who want an active retirement, but it goes further with support for residents facing memory challenges, providing a safe environment and amenities designed with cognitive health in mind along with specialized care and medication management for those who need it. Building maintenance and security are always part of the package, and the staff work to provide regular social, educational, and entertaining programs to keep minds active and support quality of life. There's a busy resident activity calendar, community events, and senior-friendly bathrooms and common areas, not to mention easy access to Wi-Fi and high-speed internet for either connecting with loved ones or keeping up with hobbies. Prospective residents can look at floor plans, availability, and even 3D models online and if you're someone who likes to see pictures, there's a gallery and even a virtual tour to get a feel for the place. Information about amenities, pricing, and special offers is available online, and there's a simple "Apply Now" option for getting started if the community feels like a fit.
