The Parkwood: An Exclusive Community for Active Adults Over 55
The Parkwood, located at 85th Street and Western Avenue in Sioux Falls, is a pioneering community tailored exclusively for individuals aged 55 and over. It offers a vibrant and carefree lifestyle in a highly sought-after location, combining top-quality senior living services with independent living in a peaceful and well-appointed residential setting.
Nathan Kasselder, the sales director, has expressed his excitement about the growing popularity of this active-adult living model. The Parkwood promises a home in one of Sioux Falls’ most desirable and upscale rental retirement communities. Residents can enjoy exceptional amenities, superb dining, top-notch hospitality, and engaging activities, all designed to enhance their independence and promote social connections – all at affordable monthly rental rates throughout their retirement.
The Parkwood provides residents with the convenience of housekeeping services, a variety of meal options, and a wealth of activities and special events, allowing them to streamline their lives. Furthermore, the facilities offer complete and worry-free maintenance, in addition to access to numerous amenities such as a full-service salon, library, fitness studio, indoor theater, club room, game area, guest suite, and outdoor courtyards complete with walking trails and dog parks – all covered in the monthly rental price. On-site transportation is also available, along with the choice between preparing one’s own meals or having access to a variety of evening dinner options and a continental breakfast.
Kasselder, with a background in the hospitality industry, stated that The Parkwood is designed to provide a lifestyle akin to residing in a luxurious hotel environment, rich in services and amenities. Unique spaces like a café and lounge, upscale dining room, private dining room, wellness studio, and treatment room are among the offerings that residents can look forward to every day.
The establishment plans to offer a wide range of regularly scheduled and special activities, catering to both community and resident interests. Activities such as morning coffee, card and game clubs, arts and crafts, walking and biking groups, as well as spiritual and wellness services will be available. Additionally, residents can access personal development programs led by local artists, authors, community leaders, and other inspirational individuals.
The Parkwood has planned to offer 133 independent living properties with 22 distinct floor plan options ranging in size from 438 to 1,616 square feet. Larger two-bedroom units have gained significant interest among prospective residents, though popular one and two-bedroom floor plans still remain available. The Parkwood is extending a range of benefits to its Founders Club members, who must take occupancy by July. These benefits include the option to reserve a specific unit or preferred floor plan, extra evening meals for the first 12 months, one year of underground parking, relocation assistance, and credits for certain services.
With considerable interest from the community, The Parkwood anticipates securing all remaining spots in the Founders Club by the end of April. Kasselder envisions The Parkwood as a place where independent senior living is synonymous with excitement, possibility, and curiosity. The goal is to provide a carefree lifestyle that enables residents to feel liberated from the responsibilities of maintaining a house, offering them the freedom to savor the coming years as they see fit.
