Lived there for little over a year and left. There are 32 cottages which were very dark inside and most occupants closed their blinds making it more darker. Very little social interaction among and between the occupants. Each unit had a tub, but lacked grip rails making them unsafe to use for seniors. Average age of occupants 80's. There were 13 couples, 16 widows, 3 single men. A total of 16 men and 29 women. Social activities were nominal and consisted of a free lunch every other week with a lunch outing the other week. No group travel or excursions. The streets are public roads and vehicles drive thru the project day and night and use it as a short cut.
