The amenity list includes an indoor pool, a therapy pool, a fitness centre, a bank, a general store, guest suites, a game room and billiards, an arts and crafts studio and a cafe.
The published daily calendar gives a clear picture of the pace: tai chi, walking club, aqua Zumba and water aerobics, Wii bowling, poker night, painting classes, Bible studies, card games and movie-and-lunch outings.

Austin in context
Austin proper has the widest range of care levels in the metro and the widest range of prices with it. Central and west-side communities price toward the top of the market; north and northeast Austin is generally more moderate. Traffic is the practical constraint families underestimate — a community fifteen minutes away at 10 a.m. can be forty at six in the evening, and evening is when most visits actually happen.
