Gardiner Place sits at 251 River Haven Drive in Carpentersville, right near East Dundee, Illinois, and you'll find it's pretty handy for going shopping or out to eat, as there's plenty around nearby, and since the place opened in 2013, the building's still fairly new and easy to get around in, offering 80 apartment units for seniors 55 and older who want independent living with a bit of help when needed. Residents can pick from one or two-bedroom apartments, each with a thoughtful layout and features like walk-in showers, a washer and dryer, full kitchens with appliances like dishwasher, microwave, and range, granite countertops, air conditioning, ceiling fans, big closets, extra storage, and private balconies, and every apartment's got no-smoking rules, though folks can gather out front if they need a smoke.
You'll find affordable rent here with income restrictions, so some residents pay less if they qualify, and pets can live here too, but only one per place and they have to weigh less than 25 pounds, with both cats and dogs allowed. The community includes underground heated parking, elevators, a fitness and wellness center, library and computer center, arts and crafts room, media center, beauty and barber shop, business center, and outdoor common areas for folks to meet and spend time. There's on-site management and maintenance, secured entrances, extra storage units, and transportation services are provided too, along with plenty of parking for residents and sites for congregating outside.
Gardiner Place puts on community outings, social events, and offers both on-site and off-site activities, which helps neighbors get to know each other, and you'll find helpful staff ready to offer person-centered assistance, plus tours for those looking at other senior communities. Units come in one-bedroom, two-bedroom/one bath, and three-quarter bath layouts, and every place is built for comfort with wheelchair accessible showers and premium finishes. Detailed property reports are available, showing utility details, rental rates, ownership information, and site specifications, which is handy if you like to know how things work behind the scenes.
Gardiner Place doesn't have nursing care, but focuses on independent seniors who want privacy along with community living. Residents get the benefits of both apartment living and shared spaces, and there's everything from pool tables to organized games, library books, and fitness equipment to use, plus a secured entrance and elevators for convenience. The building covers over 71,500 square feet, so there's space to spread out, and it's designed for seniors who value affordability, comfort, and access to daily conveniences, with all the core amenities you'd expect in a modern senior housing community. Gardiner Place also publishes occupancy rates and rental history information, giving folks a good idea of how steady life is around here.
