Flexible Living For Independent Seniors, Designed To Fit Your Needs
If you’re looking for premier independent living in Central Alabama—whether you are coming from Montgomery, Birmingham, or Woodland—you shouldn’t have to settle for a “one-size-fits-all” approach.
At Summer Village, we offer a lifestyle upgrade that looks and feels like premium real estate, complete with the flexibility and financial clarity you deserve. We’ve unbundled the traditional senior living model, allowing you to choose the exact amount of space, privacy, and hospitality you want.
We offer a variety of senior apartments, villas, and cottages across three different independent living campuses, providing a unique and flexible approach that gives you the freedom of choice when it comes to your senior living experience.
All of our apartments have in-suite laundry and attached garages. Explore our 3 independent living campuses below, compare your options, and live the life you want!
Because Independence is Personal
We believe that retirement should be lived on your terms.
That’s why we created 3 distinct campuses—Magnolia Place, Azalea Place, and Camellia Place—to honor the simple fact that independence looks different for everyone. By offering a range of lifestyle options, we empower seniors from across Central Alabama to choose the home and experience that perfectly align with the vision they have for their life.
It’s not just senior living—it’s your life, your way.
Why Our Senior Villas Feel Like Home (Only Better)
Our senior cottages and villas are built for active adults in the Montgomery and Birmingham areas who want freedom from homeownership burdens without downsizing their lifestyle.
- Privacy First: Individual entrances with no shared, hotel-style hallways.
- Room to Host: Full kitchens and expansive living areas perfect for Auburn tailgates.
- Total Control: Financial clarity with no forced meal plans or hidden fees.
