Independent living can be an excellent choice for older adults. In independent living, you can enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle full of benefits. From social opportunities to medical support, a secure environment, to a wide range of amenities and services, independent living offers an opportunity to enjoy every day. So, why should you move to a retirement community?
Maintenance-Free Living
Homeownership can be extremely rewarding. After all, who doesn’t want a place to call home where they can be themselves?
However, that doesn’t mean it’s always going to be easy. Maintaining a home requires a significant investment of your time, money, and energy. It can seem like the responsibilities are endless—you constantly need to worry about maintenance, repairs, utilities, housekeeping, and more.
This is just one reason why independent living is an incredible option. It offers a way to enjoy the benefits of having your own place, like somewhere to call home, without the drawbacks of homeownership.
Here at The Villages of Murfreesboro, residents can enjoy:
- Seamless access to a wide range of services and amenities
- Housekeeping services
- Individual kitchens in every unit
- A walk-in closet
- On-site sitting areas, sunrooms, and porches

You can say goodbye to the daily frustrations of maintaining your own property and dedicate time to pursuing your passions and making the most of every day with your new maintenance-free lifestyle.
