We are thrilled to announce the expansion of two of our entrance fee Life Plan Communities with the addition of brand-new cottage homes now taking deposits. The new homes for Pleasant View in Ottawa, IL, and Wittenberg Village in Crown Point, IN, are designed for modern living and long-term peace of mind; these cottages are perfect for still-working professionals and retirees aged 62 or older. These stunning designs offer two spacious floor plans that feature an attached two-car garage for your convenience, a private patio, intuitive smart home technology and even an optional den and upgrade features are also available. 

Long-Term Peace of Mind with All the Amenities.

Imagine living in a home that grows with you, adapting to your needs over time without the hassle of multiple moves. It provides a sense of security and stability.

The cottages blend innovative living with universal design for long-term peace of mind. Incorporating the latest in adaptive, universal design principles and technological innovations, it allows residents to age in place comfortably. Universal design ensures that homes are accessible, functional and desirable for all ages and abilities, promoting independence and safety. 

The Perfect Alternative to the “Condo Phase.”

One of the most exciting aspects is the opportunity to skip the traditional “condo phase.” Many people face the challenge of downsizing and moving multiple times as their needs change—from a large family home to a condominium and then finally, to a senior community or assisted living. 

At Pleasant View and Wittenberg Village, you can bypass this step entirely. Our spacious cottages with two-car garages provide far more space than a condo offers and a semi-private patio with a yard. These pet-friendly homes range in size from 1,392 to 1,508 square feet, providing ample space akin to single-family dwellings. And they offer more privacy than condos, with personal outdoor space for gardening, relaxing and hosting small gatherings.

Most importantly, these cottages provide the perfect blend of independence and community support, allowing you to settle into a single, thoughtfully designed space that meets your needs now and in the future. Plus, you are steps away from the larger community amenities, activities and dining options, so you can socialize as much or as little as you like.

See Them for Yourself.

Both communities will host Cottage Expansion Preview Parties throughout the reservation and building phases until the project is complete. These events are your chance to get a first look at our new cottage plans while enjoying wine and hors d’oeuvres. You’ll also hear from the Lutheran Life Communities Development Team about the vision for our cottage design and architectural planning. So, bring all of your questions. 

Both communities are now accepting deposits for a limited number of brand-new cottages.

By making a refundable deposit today, you can reserve the ideal location and floor plan for the independent living cottage of your choice. Once completed, you’ll have the pleasure of moving into a freshly built home. Best of all, you’ll have a choice of flooring, materials and finishes that best fit your design aesthetic and personality.
