About The Tradition - Buffalo Speedway
After years of working in senior living across Texas, founder Jonathan Perlman decided that he wanted to develop a senior living community with new vision. First, he determined that superlative service and care would be foundational. He chose the name “Tradition” to connote family heritage and classic design. When he asked a talented residential interior designer to create the interiors for the Community, she protested that she had never designed anything on such a scale. He replied, “Do as you always do—make it feel beautiful and welcoming like a home—just a larger one!”
He then invited Dallas area seniors to participate in focus groups, and he acted upon their requests for: fine dining, a fitness center, a constant flow of fun social activities, and programs that foster mental and physical health.
Today, The Tradition provides a continuum of care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—in four different locations: Two in Dallas and two in Houston. In Spring 2023, a new Community will open in Fort Worth.
Tradition Communities are warmed by antiques and filled with natural light in gorgeous common areas. Residents dine by firelight in a stately Dining Room. Gentlemen read their papers in plush sofas and chairs surrounded by Old World prints and paintings. Ladies play cards in an exquisitely feminine room. When residents retire, it’s to extraordinary private living areas detailed with crown molding.

The Tradition is home away from home. Located in a serene environment in the very heart of Houston. A very beautiful concept for mum and dad. The room I visited was a complete and standard house with a big spacious living room, an office, complete kitchen with all appliances, dinning area, bedroom, laundry room, visitors restroom, and a big balcony. There is a walk-in closet attached to the bedroom and a bathroom. There are other closets for jackets and other stuff. The Tradition is one of a kind. The staff at the concierge, kitchen are pleasant and happy to assist. The place is very clean, there's a bistro, gym and a movie theater among other facilities. There's also coffee for Visitors. I love the Tradition, it stands out.

This is a review for Independent Living THis place has gone downhill . The young people they are hiring are Very rude and never apologize.They treat you like Starbucks like you are lucky to be here even though you are paying 7,000 plus a month. If they don't feel like it at the front you will not get your packages. There is NO concierge they sit in their phones at the front and do not help at all. Save your money it's too late for me but I want to save someone else from coming here thinking you are going to get treated well. The residents are great but the staff is poor and they don't care

This is a great place to live but has hardly any parking for visitors! They need to open up the back lot to visitors!
