Many people are taking stock of their lifestyles and overall health as we strive to move to a post-pandemic world. Connection to community, healthy living and work-life balance have become greater priorities—driving the desire for easy access to spaces that encourage these connections.

Mercato Grove is a new residential and retail neighborhood in Lake Oswego that seems to have opened at the perfect time to satisfy these health-focused priorities.

“It feels serendipitous that this community is opening in 2021,” says Jenn Zella, cofounding principal and chief visionary officer of CID Design Group (which created many of the wellness spaces at Mercato Grove). “This last year made us acutely aware of what matters most and how paramount health and wellness is to each and every one of us. With dedicated areas for fitness, aquatics, crafting, gardening, pets, workspaces, and play environments for residents of all backgrounds and ages, it’s easier than ever to nourish healthy pastimes right at home.”

Health- and community-focused amenities are shown to decrease stress and improve one’s sense of purpose and life expectancy. Living a long, healthy life is easier when our environment nudges us into moving without thinking about it, allows time and space for reflection, provides access to healthy food, and connects us with neighbors and nature. These priorities are at the core of Mercato Grove’s architecture and amenities.
