An Extraordinary Life<br />
Vibrant senior living communities in <strong>Charleston</strong><br />
By KATELYN RUTT<br />
A retirement community can bring security, connection, and an overall positive<br />
quality of life. With so many options, the decision can feel daunting. Here are some of <strong>Charleston</strong>’s<br />
top senior living neighborhoods—each with a unique charm and an abundance of amenities—for<br />
those who want to spend their golden years in comfort and style.<br />
Restore at Carolina Park<br />
1588 Bloom St.<br />
Mt. Pleasant<br />

As Mount Pleasant’s first active adult community<br />
for 55+, Restore at Carolina Park<br />
isdedicated to making “your next fifty your<br />
best fifty.” The neighborhood boasts a range<br />
of choices to accommodate the many stages<br />
of retirement. “Imagine modern living along<br />
with a dedicated lifestyle and fitness program,<br />
where the only thing you need to worry about<br />
is figuring out which activities to enjoy first,”<br />
said Amie Dufek, Senior Property Manager.<br />
Move-in ready apartments are designed<br />
in one-and two-bedroom layouts, with granite<br />
countertops, stainless steel appliances and<br />
designer lighting. Select units feature private<br />
fenced yards, ideal for those with a furry<br />
friend. For seniors who want more space with<br />
a Southern charm, the Lowcountry-inspired<br />
cottages strike a balance between simple and<br />
modern. They are a bit larger than the apartments,<br />
with two-three- and four-bedroom<br />
layouts. Here, residents have water views and<br />
plenty of indoor and outdoor living space.<br />
The Marsh Assisted <strong>Living</strong> and Memory<br />
Care facility in the community provides<br />
a helping hand to retirees who require daily<br />
assistance. The facility prides itself on its<br />
first-class accommodations, restaurant-style<br />
meals and uncompromising care.<br />
Restore at Carolina Park is just minutes<br />
from historic <strong>Charleston</strong>, and with so much<br />
to do on the property, the options are endless.<br />
An 8,000-square-foot Wellness and<br />
Recreation Center is a resident favorite for<br />
fitness with a juice bar reward. Those looking<br />
to catch some rays can lounge at the resortstyle<br />
pool, or kickstart a competitive match<br />
of pickleball or bocce on the facility courts.<br />
The fitness results are real. Dufek says one<br />
of their 85-year-old residents, Paul Price, recently<br />
trekked across national parks in six states.<br />
“A year ago, it would have been a major<br />
struggle,” Price says. “Due to the fitness and<br />
balance classes I have been taking here,<br />
and my walks around the lake, I was able to<br />
enjoy this great trip.”<br />
