Several specialized communities in Lee’s Summit are making the area a magnet for retirees. Carlyle Retirement Residence, Foxwood Springs and John Knox Village all offer desirable living options for individuals of retirement age.
Carlyle Retirement Residence offers apartment and suite living options; Foxwood Springs has 246 garden homes and 141 rental apartments; and John Knox Village, a neighborhood of more than 1,800 residents, is one of the largest retirement communities in the nation.
John Knox Village boasts an abundance of housing options, from freestanding homes and apartment complexes to private apartments with assisted-living care, as well as residences within a skilled nursing center. It also offers other amenities such as a fishing lake, nine-hole golf course, four restaurants and a state-of-the-art fitness center.
“We are a continuing-care community, which enables residents who are living independently to transition to assisted living when the time comes while preserving their place in their community,” says Emily Banyas, communications manager.
