The Independence of Charlottesville

The Perfect Community

I love this community and I think it is perfect. I love most about the community most is the whole atmosphere. They offer a lot of programs so you could stay busy all day if you wanted to. There is such a wonderful attitude here.

New Home

Shelby and I have considered moving into The Independence for several years. This year (2015) we sold our property and realized that goal.

The entire staff at The Independence in welcome and caring and very professional. They foster a co…

This community is difficult to find, though it lends to the privacy. The building is spacious and the grounds beautiful, but it is NOT all-inclusive. We prefer utilities/meals included with rent. Diedre is an outstanding marketing director. We are still considering.

Living a New Life at The Independence

Coming to The Independence has been a joy and a blessing – my decision to come was based on the video and the magazine I saw with a group which had persons that looked like me – persons of color. The entrance was just beautiful and looked like home – bright and inviting. I have not been disappointed – especially as a traveler who has been many places and seen people from all walks of life. The social activities are many – something for everyone at all times. I love flowers and to see “fresh” flowers in the clubho…
