Steeple View Lofts sits in the heart of downtown Lancaster, PA, in a historic building from 1886 that used to be the H. Doer Warehouse, so residents get the charm of old brick walls, original support columns, and 12-foot ceilings, along with big windows that let in city views and sunlight. The community offers 36 loft-style rental apartments for adults aged 55 and older who want to stay independent, with apartments coming in one- or two-bedroom layouts ranging from 700 to 1000 square feet. Each apartment has modern lighting, open floor plans, in-suite washers and dryers, independently controlled HVAC, walk-in showers, kitchenettes, air conditioning, private bathrooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and lots of room to move around. Some apartments are ADA accessible to meet mobility needs. The main entrance and floors are secure, with community spaces and a large deck on the second floor for gatherings or just having coffee with neighbors, something residents tend to do often here, and there's a culture of inviting others in for a chat.
Dining is covered by a professional chef who deals with allergies and different diet needs, and residents can eat in the restaurant-style dining area, pick up meals all day, and enjoy special options. The activity calendar is full, offering movie nights, fitness programs, music and art activities, outdoor programs, a library, a spa/wellness room, computer/business room, and a range of resident- and community-run events designed to draw people together. There are social spaces like activity rooms, movie theater, and arts rooms, as well as walking paths and outdoor common areas that help you get outside when the weather's good. There's on-site parking, plus access to nearby parking garages-some with charging stations for electric cars. Seniors here can also get transportation, move-in help, and concierge support, and there's an option to access Landis at Home services for those who need extra support as time goes by. The staff is well-trained and friendly, working to make things easier so people can stay engaged and connected. Every floor has community spaces for chatting, and there's a strong focus on building friendships and a sense of belonging. While Steeple View Lofts is designed for adults who want to live independently and don't need help with daily tasks, medication management, non-ambulatory care and 24-hour supervision, as well as a 24-hour call system, are also available for those who require them. The building and the people both bring a warm, genuine feeling, and the goal is to help everyone keep their freedom while making it easy to be a part of the community.
