A Legacy of
Independent Living

The Villas at Bluestem offer a premier independent living opportunity, with various size units, which you can decorate and personalize to your liking.

All homes in this charming neighborhood community are a part of a homeowners association (HOA). Ten of the homes also offer lawn care and snow removal services included.

The neighborhood offers homeownership opportunities for families of various sizes and incomes in a multi-generational setting.

All properties are equity investments that can be sold or passed down, making them a lasting investment for generations.
