AutumnWood at Brooktree sits in Tacoma, WA and is a 55+ active adult gated community with 128 resale single-family homes that have low-maintenance exteriors, and while some homes were built in 2014 and others in 2006, the neighborhood along the main entry has rambler-style, craftsman-inspired houses with poured concrete foundations, composition roofs, wood or cement planked siding, and stone accents here and there, and if you look out at the lots, you'll see mature trees and lawns kept green by sprinkler systems, some homes with fenced yards, dog runs, and covered patios in front and back. On the inside, the houses offer a comfortable, cozy space, usually one story, around 1,552 to 1,883 square feet, and pretty high nine-foot ceilings, with either hardwood floors or wall-to-wall carpet, a fireplace, walk-in closets, a master bedroom with its own bathroom, big dining rooms right off the main entrance, and double-pane storm windows, plus kitchens that come with stainless steel appliances like a refrigerator, range/oven, microwave, dishwasher, and garbage disposal, and there's also a utility room on the main level for laundry. People who live here enjoy a two-car garage, a long driveway, and amenities like cable TV, gas hookups, Wi-Fi, and air conditioning, and the community has its own clubhouse, fitness and business rooms, movie nights, a resident-run calendar of activities, walking and biking trails, a pet park, horseshoe pits, a gazebo, a picnic area, and outdoor common spaces, as well as little things like paved sidewalks and well-kept yards.
This community serves people looking for different types of care, ranging from independent living to assisted living and memory care, plus skilled nursing and short-term respite stays, and there are flexible continuing care options that adapt as a person's health changes, so folks who need help with getting dressed, grooming, bathing, or taking medicine have support available every day, while specialized memory care keeps those with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia safe from wandering, helps ease anxiety, and tries to slow down memory loss. Residents can count on meals and dining services with all-day, restaurant-style or allergy-sensitive options, including accommodations for diabetes-friendly diets, along with housekeeping, linen, laundry, and concierge services, move-in help, and family support, and the homes have emergency response systems, security alarms, and on-call monitoring. Outdoor programs give people a chance to be active, and the property has a very relaxed, friendly feeling where neighbors socialize at picnics or walk on trails, and the management-E.J. Walsh & Associates-keeps everything running smooth, with a homeowners' association that charges $123 each month to help cover community expenses like the pool, landscaping, and approval of community rules, which are sometimes called CCRs. Daily life here stays easy and social, with movie nights, arts, fitness programs, group events, and plenty of common areas to gather, and folks can bring pets to enjoy the dog park or simply relax in the fresh air under the mature trees. The homes work well for people who want a tranquil lifestyle but need the assurance that extra help is there if health care or daily assistance becomes necessary, and there are no basements, so everything stays simple and accessible, usually on one level with no stairs to maneuver, and all yards are level and easy to care for.
AutumnWood at Brooktree is meant for adults 55 and older who want a calm, close-knit place to live with the ability to stay independent or get extra help as they age, and the community hosts activities, clubs, and shared spaces to help everyone form friendships and stay engaged, and the surrounding area offers plenty of natural beauty to enjoy every day.
