Affinity at Badger Mountain is an active adult community for residents 55 and older located in Richland, Washington. Unlike independent living communities, Affinity does not provide day-to-day services such as laundry, housekeeping, or meals, but instead offers residents the freedom and independence to live life on their own terms while enjoying the benefits of a maintenance-free lifestyle.
The community features over 30,000 square feet of shared living space with numerous amenities including a fitness center, heated salt water pool, hot tub, billiards and game room, crafts studio, and Dilly Dally's Pub. All-inclusive monthly rent covers utilities, internet, cable, fitness facilities, access to social events, and amenities, with no hidden fees or surprise charges. Residents are responsible for their own meals and daily living activities.
Affinity emphasizes resident-led programming and social connections. Rather than staff-planned activities, residents create their own events including game nights, themed parties, clubs, and gatherings. The community welcomes residents to organize new clubs and activities based on their interests and passions, with a vibrant social calendar that reflects the personalities of those who live there.
The location in Richland places the community moments away from restaurants, cafes, shopping, parks, and an outlet mall across the street, with several dining options within walking distance. This positioning allows residents to pursue active lifestyles whether staying in the community or venturing out.
Residents report a welcoming, friendly atmosphere with helpful and people-oriented staff. The community attracts active adults from all walks of life who seek a maintenance-free lifestyle, predictable monthly expenses, opportunities to stay active, and a place to make new friends while maintaining independence and privacy in their own apartments.
