Bryan is The Best Maintenance Man! Lawrence had a Blizzard on Sunday, January 5, 2025. Bryan did a fine job clearing our sidewalks. He does his job well in all seasons. Kind regards, Joyce Pearl Jones

So many great things about this community!! The location is fantastic and the apartment is a perfect size and floor plan. Anna and Janis in the office are fantastic and that makes such a difference when you’re moving and getting adjusted. What you see is what you get and it’s been great! Thank you

How would you like to live in a Garden Paradise? Come talk with our office managers; who will give you a Grand Tour. We are pricey; but not that pricey. We are a gated community; yet open and have our own garages for snowy-days. This is the place to find friends 55 and up. Most of us are Midwesterners; but not all of use are. Most of us eat meat; but not all of us. Most of us have not traveled much; but some of us have lived abraod and traveled a lot. The other day we had a tornadoe drill and I realised how much I have loved living in Prairie Commons of Alvamar since 2013. I came hear all alone and yet it did not matter the first years. Monthly parties mean that I always have friends or ways to make friends; so although I moved here alone in 2013; I was never truly alone. Also, I felt safe immediately. A gated community means that there are cameras watching you at all times. Plus, you'll never feel truly lonely. A monthly party means youill have 12 months a year when you can make new friends. Plus we have a real library with our own visiting Greg who is a consultant for our public library who drives his cute little red van up to our library each Monday morning. So if you aren't the extrovert type; never fear you have 12 months a year to look for new friends; even if you move in here alone! Joyce Pearl Jones happy resident since 2013; oh and did I say I moved in her for the KU designed Gardens?? We have a genuine botanic garden; which had signs on each plant, tree and shrub, many years ago?? !! A happy resident...I am Joyce Pearl
