Fairway Village

Fairway Village sits in Vancouver, WA, as a 55+ active senior community where residents find a quiet place to live that feels like a real neighborhood, with the golf course, neatly trimmed fairways, and greens, stretching right through the area, and you'll see folks out walking or playing golf most days, especially since the club's open every day from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, weather permitting, and they really do focus on independence and active living here, with a clubhouse that isn't just for golfers but has a restaurant, bar, library, workout room, billiards, dance hall, and even a swimming pool, and they've kept a good variety of events going, from board meetings open to all, to fitness programs, movie nights, game and card rooms, and outdoor programs. The golf course, designed by Gene "Bunny" Mason in 1982, has eighteen holes-or nine if you just play the shorter public side-built on a sand base with Rye grass for the fairways and tees, and Bent grass for the greens, and it's called a "Hidden Gem" by many because it handles wet weather well, running 2,631 yards as a par 34, split into A and B 9 Holes, with three sets of tees, detailed par and handicap markings, Blue at CR: 64.8 / SR: 110 and White at CR: 63.2 / SR: 108, and folks can use the driving range or take lessons from professional instructors if they want to improve a bit, which is handy for a place that's also got a pro shop right in the clubhouse. The community itself is big, with 128 Fairway View condos, each one or two bedrooms, with sizes from 700 to 1,266 square feet and their own garage, plus 696 homes with two or three bedrooms and bigger garages, with a clear set of pet rules-two pets per home in the main area, one in the condos, and plenty of walks where you'll see neighbors with their dogs. Fairway Village Realty keeps an office right inside the clubhouse for convenience, offering property management, broker, and sales support, and there's a Board of Directors, elected by residents, who manage the association and set rules in the CC&R's and Bylaws, with all residents encouraged to join one of many advisory committees if they want a say in how things run. For healthcare and daily needs, there's personal care services available, a 24-hour call system, medication help, bathing and dressing support, non-ambulatory care for those who need it, along with choices for private or shared rooms, studios, and everything like air conditioning, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and private bathrooms or kitchenettes, and the dining room serves meals all day-restaurant style-with options for diets like diabetes care. The community calendar keeps everyone updated on activities and meetings, the club manages events and member benefits, and there's even partnerships with golf media like Golf Channel and GolfNow, so residents with a keen interest in golf can join lessons or get gear tips. Fairway Village really offers a wide range of services and comforts for seniors who want to keep moving, stay social, and make use of the outdoors and indoor amenities, with a structure that balances independence with support, so people can feel secure while still calling their day their own.
