We have been residents for over 4 years ( after years of researching CCRCs / Life Plan Communities in the Triangle and in California) and find The Cypress to be excellent in all aspects: Caring Staff, Caring Residents, beautiful garden like grounds, excellent Health Center (5 stars since it opened), excellent maintenance, great food, spacious condos with the best financial plan (residents own their own condos or cottages and thus benefit from real estate appreciation- ours has probably doubled in value). Only problem is that openings are limited for prospective residents.

My wife and I have lived at The Cypress of Raleigh for fifteen years. Moving to The Cypress was one of the best decisions we have ever made. We own our condominium which overlooks a beautifully landscaped and maintained campus. On most evenings we dine with good friends in the clubhouse dining room, which has a fantastic menu featuring more choices of delicious food than you would find in any restaurant. We have also both had the occasion to use the health care facility, which is excellent. We have wonderful neighbors, and moved from a friendly neighborhood to neighborhood of friends. Who would have guessed that in our retirement years that we would have made so many new good friends!
