I chose Alinea because it's fresh and new. After I moved in, I discovered the resident community, which is why I love Alinea. We have all ages and walks of life living here. It's great to see familiar faces, have people to share experiences with and get advice from. I feel like I have made some true friends. I work from home and often find myself going days without leaving the property but never feeling confined or alone, unless I want to be alone. The staff are very friendly and attentive and help make you feel like you are part of something larger than your own apartment. We do have several residents that prefer seclusion and they seem to be as happy as those of us who prefer community. The gym, hot tub, pool and clubhouse are the priority amenities for me and I have experienced all of them in my past year....I'm staying another year at least.
