The word is out: Ann Arbor is the place for seniors!
By Sudhir, on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 at 1:38 pm
U.S. News & World Report recently published an article proclaiming Ann Arbor as one of “America’s Best Affordable Places to Retire”, and for those of us fortunate enough to call “Tree Town” home, this is something we have known all along.
Ann Arbor boasts a strong academic and diverse cultural atmosphere which will appeal to discerning retirees and seniors looking to make the move to a city brimming with activities—concerts, art fairs, sporting events—and a wide range of lifelong learning opportunities such as lectures, educational courses, museums, and group activities. Combine all of this with a healthy dose of Ann Arbor’s contagious energy and you have the perfect formula for happy living.
It is in this same spirit that University Living for Seniors was founded and continues today. We believe in living life to the fullest—mind, body & spirit. From the minute you walk through our doors, you step into an atmosphere where the focus is on you and your overall well-being. We are dedicated to promoting lifelong wellness and learning through physical fitness—UL was awarded the NuStep Pinnacle of Excellence award for our progressive, innovative, and motivational commitment to physical wellness—and a wide range of cultural activities and programs such as our Learning to Love Opera series.
We invite you to discover what University Living and Ann Arbor have to offer: a new kind of senior living experience—all on your own terms.
