Wonderful place to visit and suitable for senior. They provided gym, swimming pool, library, bistro, restaurant and many more.<br>There were plenty parking lots for guests. The unit was comfortable with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. There was a washer & a dryer in each unit.<br>I really love the view and open spaces.

We moved here to Landmark earlier this fall and have felt so very welcomed and cared for since the day we came! Friends and family have come to visit and always remark about how clean and well-maintained the building and grounds are and how friendly everyone is. The maintenance staff took great care to make all the upgrades and improvements our home needed and even now they are quick to respond if there is any problem at all. The office ladies are so friendly and efficient and knowledgeable about their jobs and our needs. The dining staff, from the chefs to the wait staff, are absolutely the best. The meals are delicious and thoughtfully prepared and presented and the servers are so well trained and sweet and friendly! It was a huge step for us to make this move, but we couldn't be more satisfied with Landmark and our home here.
