55+ Cottages
True Connection Communities’ 55-plus cottages give residents a home with the maintenance handled, so weekends stay open for whatever they’d rather be doing.
The 55+ cottage homes at TCC offer a more residential style of maintenance-free living at select communities. Depending on the community and floor plan, features may include a private entrance, garage or covered parking, patio, or yard.
What Makes a Cottage Different
Cottage residences offer a more residential style of maintenance-free living, standalone or semi-attached depending on the community, and set apart from the main dining room or clubhouse rather than built into it. Depending on the community and floor plan, features may include a private entrance, garage or covered parking, patio, or yard. They give residents the feel of a real house without the maintenance that comes with owning one outright.
Life in a Cottage Community
Cottages for retirees over 55 are usually part of a larger community, so residents still have access to a clubhouse, pool, or activity calendar, just with more privacy at home. Exterior maintenance and landscaping are typically handled, and many cottage communities add extras like a private garage or covered parking.
