Select units feature kitchenettes, wheelchair-accessible showers, balconies or patios, and in-room climate control with cable or satellite TV and high-speed internet. Some suites overlook outdoor courtyards or the deck area, and the community is pet friendly. Not every room includes every listed feature, so prospective residents should confirm the exact specifications of available apartments.

Guest meals are available, and menus can be adjusted for therapeutic diets, including carbohydrate-controlled plans for diabetes.
