Life at the Orchard.

Now’s your time to live your life the way you want—independent and free of the overwhelming expense and responsibilities of a home, and most important, surrounded by a warm, friendly community. Applewood Independent living gives you that and a whole lot more.

Just Right.

Choose from one of our beautiful studios, one or two-bedroom apartments, most with patios or balconies and make it just the way you like it—we’ll customize your new home to suit your taste and decor.

This is the fun part.

You’ll find beautiful surroundings with easy access to all the culture, dining, and shopping that the Amherst area has to offer. Don’t have a car? We provide daily scheduled transportation so you can get where you want to go. 

Our residents are active, passionate, enlightened thinkers who take part in programs that spark creativity and encourage lifelong learning through classes at five area colleges. Everyone here has the opportunity to take part in programs that inform, inspire and enrich your life. 

Do as much as you want, or do nothing. It’s your life to enjoy just the way you like it.
