From offbeat to off-Broadway, you can experience it all.
In 2018, Brooke Lea Foster of The New York Times described Maplewood as one of the “least suburban of suburbs … for its culture and hip factor … and sophisticated post-city life.” Whether you migrated from the big city to be closer to your family or you were born and bred in Maplewood, the retirement lifestyle you’re looking for is right here.
We offer regular transportation to many Maplewood attractions like The Burgdorff Center for the Performing Arts or Paper Mill Playhouse, fine dining options like Restaurant Lorena’s, or trips to The Mall at Short Hills.
