Expanding Futures & Community.
New cottages are coming to the Pleasant View community in Ottawa, IL.
Whether still working or retired, these cottages are the perfect rightsizing option for active people 62 and older. The gorgeous modern design and spacious plans come with an attached, two-car garage, private patio and intuitive smart home technology. It’s a savvy choice for today’s modern elder.
The new Pleasant View cottages are thoughtfully planned to use the latest adaptive, universal design and innovations, empowering residents to age in place with long-term peace of mind.

Features like no-step entries, wide doorways and accessible bathrooms make daily living easier should mobility and physical needs ever change in the future.

A great Life Plan Community gets even better.
Experience the inviting hometown spirit thriving in 62+ living. Pleasant View is perfect for anyone who desires an independent lifestyle with an active social circle. You’re within easy access to downtown Ottawa in an idyllic natural setting with independent villas, apartments and care options. Shops, restaurants and more are an easy drive away, too! (Transportation is always available via Pleasant View if you’d rather not drive.) Pleasant View offers a wide range of activities, including a robust schedule of fitness classes, clubs and intellectual groups. This is a dog lover’s paradise where most breeds are welcome. With the expansion comes more opportunities to choose the type of home you’ll love.

Each cottage comes with the Power of a Plan.
When you move into a cottage as an entrance fee, independent living resident, you put in place a plan for long-term peace of mind. You skip the 55+ community phase and can start enjoying all the amenities your community offers today and build a network of friends. Should your health needs change and you require additional services, you’ll have access to a full continuum of care right where you live, but at a lower rate than if you moved to a for-profit community. As a nonprofit CCRC, we are dedicated to the long-term purpose of serving our residents.
