Real estate agents are quick to point out the best neighborhoods to potential homebuyers, but how can one determine the best areas for seniors? It’s not just about a community setting; the location should be close to places worth visiting.
If you have an eye for the Los Angeles suburbs, we suggest setting your sights on two neighborhoods: West Los Angeles and Cheviot Hills. They’re mere minutes from each other; Ciela is less than half an hour away. Our residents and family members enjoy visiting both towns — later in the day, they return home and relax in their private luxury apartments.
Does that image resonate with you? It should; with senior centers, cultural attractions, and green space, these neighborhoods are ideal locations for older adults and their families. Next, we’ll highlight local landmarks and fun activities everyone can enjoy when spending time in this area.
