Spring Lake Senior Residences

Independent senior living in a lakefront community

Spring Lake Senior Residences provides affordable independent senior townhomes and community gathering spaces in an idyllic setting along a spring-fed lake within established residential neighborhoods. Conceived as part of a senior campus, the development offers an informal continuum of care through its proximity to the existing St. Anthony Supportive Living Facility and a planned future memory care facility.

The community’s 37 two-bedroom townhomes support independent living with comfortable, accessible spaces and everyday conveniences. Front porches offer views of the lake, while open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas provide room for daily routines and visits with family and friends. Mudrooms with generous storage, in-unit laundry, and individual garages make everyday tasks easier. Warm, contemporary finishes and durable, healthy materials create welcoming interiors, with accessible features that accommodate residents with a range of abilities.

Sustainability and resident well-being informed the design throughout. Energy-efficient lighting, appliances, heating and cooling systems, water heaters, and windows work alongside an enhanced thermal envelope to reduce air infiltration and energy demand. Water-conserving fixtures and measures to improve indoor air quality contribute to healthy, comfortable homes. Native and adaptive plantings provide seasonal color and interest while attracting wildlife. The project earned NGBS Bronze Certification and received a ComEd Multifamily Standard grant.

Shared spaces create opportunities for residents to gather, stay active, and pursue their interests. A community room, fitness center, and business center complement an outdoor patio with a heavy-timber trellis and raised planters for gardening. An on-site management office supports the community, and residents can access select meal plans, salon services, and transportation through St. Anthony.

Along Knights of Columbus Lake, a shared recreation area brings residents closer to nature and one another. Walking paths, a dock and fishing pier, a pavilion, a natural playscape, and picnic areas with grills accommodate everything from quiet reflection to family gatherings. Benches offer places to pause and enjoy the water, while the site design enhances existing natural features and incorporates stormwater management practices. Shared with residents of St. Anthony, these outdoor spaces connect the campus and make the lakefront a place to enjoy together throughout the seasons.
