The Benefits of Empty Nesters Living on Purchase Campus

Often the biggest challenge facing empty nesters looking to move isn’t whether to sell the house, but rather answering the question, “Where do we move?” An intriguing new option may be: back on a college campus. Read the full feature on The Larchmont Loop

University-based retirement communities hold great appeal for empty nesters who are hungry for more than a traditional senior living community can offer. Just a handful of these partnerships between universities and retirement communities exist and they take a variety of forms: a university-based retirement community may be on, or close to, the school, or offer specially curated lifelong learning for residents when they visit the campus. Others boast an affiliation with a university in name only.

A Rare Bird

Broadview at Purchase College is unique among university-based retirement communities. Now under construction just 13 miles north of Larchmont in central Westchester County, it’s embedded on the wooded and parkland acreage of the Purchase College campus. Read the full feature on The Larchmont Loop.

Broadview residents will simply step past their door to be part of the university’s vibrant academic milieu. Lectures, workshops, exhibitions, performances, art, music — it’s a vibrant intergenerational community where you’ll continue to learn, grow and mentor others.

Time to Soar

For empty nesters, independent living at a retirement community such as Broadview provides new opportunities and freedoms:

  •   Maintenance-free living frees up more time for a favorite hobby and other retirement activities you’ve been dreaming of.
  •   Regularly scheduled transportation removes the hassle of driving and parking on a grocery run or to medical appointments.
  •   Multiple dining venues within walking distance of your residence relieve you of the need to cook unless you want to.
  •   Chef-prepared dining allows you to savor expertly prepared restaurant-style meals, fine wine and exciting menu choices.
  •   Social activities and resident clubs offer a chance to meet new friends and try new things, both on and off campus.
  •   Lifelong learning programs at Purchase College provide enriching interactions with students and academic faculty; intergenerational learning, and ways to mentor, inspire and be inspired.
  •   Access to an on-site continuum of care including assisted living and memory care, is always available in case of a change in health.
  •   Emergency response systems keep you in close contact with staff when needed.
