Community-friendly Housing Celebrates the Joys of Downsizing
“I just recently moved in and I absolutely love it,” said Ms. Johnson. “For me it was about independence, mobility, and finding a place that gives me a sense of community in the heart of a neighborhood I love."
After 25 years of working in the city, long-time Portland resident Pamela Johnson was ready to retire and transition to the next chapter of her life. Transitions can be hard, especially when it involves moving to a new home; but for Pamela, choosing The Canyons apartments as the home that would support her during her retirement years was one that felt right. With children spread across the world, Pamela knew that selecting a home that felt safe, secure, and that would support mobility and independence would bring her and her family peace of mind.
“I just recently moved in and I absolutely love it,” said Ms. Johnson. “For me it was about independence, mobility, and finding a place that gives me a sense of community in the heart of a neighborhood I love. We have a diverse community of all ages and ethnicities here and it reminds me of everything I love about Portland.”
The Canyons is a new six-story multigenerational apartment building designed to foster community and a sense of belonging, while offering residents full independence. “I didn’t need an assisted living center; The Canyons is really a good transition place for me. My car is parked downstairs in the locked garage, I can walk to the grocery store and restaurants, there’s healthcare nearby. Even my children feel better knowing I’m here,” said Ms. Johnson.
