Live Fully

Community Life

If you're looking for a place where you can continue doing the things you enjoy —and virtually none of the things you don't — look no further than Ardenwoods. We offer all the amenities and services you'd hope to find at a larger community with endless opportunities to pursue your interests. Unlike a large community, however, our smaller size makes it easier to connect with others and make new friends. It won't be long before you feel right at home.

Focused On You

Culture

Situated on a thickly wooded campus, Ardenwoods offers a peaceful, private retreat from the rush of traffic and hustle of daily life. You can hike the trails on our campus or simply enjoy the mountain views from your comfortable residence or our outdoor terrace.

We'll respect your wish for privacy but we also take pride in providing highly personalized service. Our focus is on your needs, your satisfaction, your well-being. Nothing makes us happier than to see you smile.

Pursue Your Interests

Activities

It should come as no surprise that hiking the three trails on our campus is a favorite activity for residents (and their furry friends). You can also join the walking club for weekly rambles in the North Carolina Arboretum. Want to scratch a creative itch? Head to our art studio or woodworking shop, or hop on our bus to attend a play or visit a gallery. Whatever your interests, we encourage you to pursue them. It's a great way to meet new people, make new friends and feel part of our community.

“When I made the transition, I knew that I wasn’t going to cut off the rest of my life, so I wanted to continue living my life, just the way I did, and just see what else AW had to offer. All of a sudden I had more free time, because I wasn’t doing as many chores. All of a sudden, my calendar which was already full, was getting fuller, because there was so many things to choose from at AW. It didn’t really change my life, it enhanced it.”
— Bobbi L., Resident
