Birchwood at Tarditi Commons

This building is configured rather like a motel. There are 48 apartments across three levels, and also a laundry room on the third level. There's also a community room with tables and chairs and a TV and lots of books. The property manager is very friendly. The town is quiet and historic; it was settled a little over 300 years ago. There are many mom and pop shops in town that offer nearly everything. If you're over 62 and retired with not much of a pension, then this is the place for you.

I have enjoyed living in Tarditi Commons for 5 years. First, I want to say that the location is spectacular!! I LOVE walking around town and having a grocery stores, pharmacy store, restaurants, etc within walking distance. It is affordable, though I find the yearly rent increases to be high at these times when all daily living costs are expensive, especially on a fixed income. Our manager, Amiee, is helpful, thoughtful, kind, cares about us and is quick to respond to maintenance and even some personal issues. The residents are friendly. The building is dated and needs a refresh. Carpeting in the main hallways on every floor are worn, stained and cannot be cleaned. Repainting in hallways in lighter colors is long overdue and would be a great improvement. The property is lovely and has great potential for landscaping improvements. The parking situation was poorly planned way back when the building was built as they didn’t plan on every unit needing a parking space. I think that the parking lot has room for several more spaces to accommodate everyone if it was redesigned. New, more efficient laundry machines for so many folks would be a nice improvement as well. A laundry sink to access water to clean up spills would be a plus. I would love to see a safer way to walk outside from the front of the property to the amazing back property where a patio for safe sitting outside would be a generous improvement! Overall, living here makes great sense for my needs in a comfortable safe community! I’m glad to be living here. Thanks for taking the time to review my thoughts!
