I absolutely love this place. They take pride in maintaining the property. Anything I have ask for in the way of maintenance it was taken care of almost immediately. The residents are so friendly. I play cards almost every night. There is a lot to do around here. Last night they had a live band. I had so much fun! I moved from a huge expensive house to here and I wish I would have done it sooner. I pay rent and electric, that's it. No more lawn guy, A/C guy, house keeper, water bill, etc. I don't have to change a light bulb or take the trash out. Management and staff are always happy and ready to help. The top dog around here can be seen helping the wait staff deliver food and pouring tea. This is my new home and I am going to be here for a long time I hope.

I absolutely love Watermere and everyone here!! I can’t imagine living anywhere else! I have ONLY good things to say about Watermere and all the employees and residents! My only disappointment was when they changed the coffee vending machine!! LOL!!! But, Ali has patiently listened to my complaints with a smile and, even brought me and my dining friend another variety of the offered flavors from the machine! I grudgingly admitted THAT variety was good! 😆 but Starbucks will still get my business! Ali is wonderful!! Best leasing agent I’ve ever had!!

It’s a great place to live. They keep everything clean. The staff is ridiculously friendly and there are a ton of activities. The food is great and kitchen staff is courteous and helpful. Bre, Kristina, Misty and Ivet made the Masquerade show super fun and Tom the Music Man always has the perfect music for every event!

Nice place to live. So many conveniences, residence are nice and friendly. Plenty of activities to chose from, bean bag baseball tournaments, chair volleyball, exercise classes, art and crafts, cards, games, bingo for prizes. We will never starve having early Continental breakfasts, excellent daily choices on the menu for lunch. Much fun attending the parties and group gatherings weekly, usually with drinks and appetizers, sometimes includes professional entertainment. Staff is very organized, professional, extremely friendly, accommodating and kind. Yes, we are happy living here, seems to be the consensus of all I’ve talked with.
