Redbud Commons

Redbud Commons sits near the intersection of Diley Road and State Route 256 and has 95 single-story luxury apartments for people 55 and older, so folks won't have to worry about stairs, and every apartment has its own attached garage and private walk-up entrance, which makes coming and going easy, and the homes include one or two bedrooms with open floor plans, no steps, wide doorways, walk-in showers with grab bars, and other Universal Design features that help with accessibility, while high ceilings, big windows, and modern finishes like granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and hardwood floors make things bright and comfortable. The apartments come with patios or balconies, washer/dryer hook-ups, individual climate control, air conditioning, generous storage including big pantries, and are pet-friendly for up to two dogs and two cats. There's a focus on community without being pushy, so people can join residents' clubs, hobby groups, game nights, fitness classes, dinners, and events, or just enjoy quiet time in shared spaces like the club room, billiards and bourbon lounge, co-working and business center, WiFi Cafe, community kitchen, or out on the patio with a barbecue grill and fire pit, and there are community gardens and a dog park outside too, while the clubhouse also has a fitness center with both cardio and strength equipment. Redbud Commons is set on a large 26-acre lot with plenty of green space and direct access to walking trails that connect right out to nearby parks like Pickerington Ponds Metro Park, Georges Creek, or Olde Pickerington Village for those who want nature or a short trip to shops and restaurants, and the energy-efficient design means folks don't waste a lot on bills either. You won't find meals or healthcare services provided, so people pay for housing and utilities only, with maintenance and 24/7 concierge always available if ever needed, and a community director and on-site management take care of daily needs or events. The place has won awards, including the 2020 Best of 55+ Housing Awards Gold Award for the Best Market-Rate Rental Community, and it shares a design approach similar to Hawthorne Commons but with a few touches specific to Pickerington, making it a good option for folks wanting to downsize but keep a bit of independence in a place built for comfort and ease.
