Life at Morningside

Company when you want it, privacy when you don’t

Morningside is 182 apartments across a set of quiet brick buildings. There are shared rooms to go to and a front door that closes behind you. Most residents use both, on different days.

Around the community

The rest of the building

Getting around

The building was designed so that a bad knee is never the reason you stay home.

  • No steps at any entry — ramps throughout
  • Elevators to the second and third floors
  • Handrails in common corridors
  • Ground-floor apartments available

  • Private garage included with every apartment
  • Entry doors locked at all times
  • Security lock system with intercom entry
  • Fire sprinkler system in every residence
  • Grounds and building maintained year round
A row of nine private garages with individual numbered doors, across the parking area from the apartment buildings.

Being honest

What Morningside does not have

No dining room or meal plan. No pool, gym or salon. No nursing staff, care team or organised activity director. No pets.

The rent is lower because those things are not built into it. If you want a community that provides meals and care, Morningside is not it — and you should know that before you spend an afternoon touring.

Come and see it for yourself

Photographs only go so far. Walk the halls, stand on a balcony, open the closets and see whether your furniture fits. Tours take about half an hour, and you are welcome to bring your family.
