Life at Northcrest
Fulfilling, Independent, Worry-Free Living
When you settle into home at Northcrest, you discover the freedom to live each day as you’d like, active and engaged. Northcrest handles home maintenance and housekeeping so you can enjoy the community amenities, activities and outings that make life better. Group classes bring together like-minded interests. Group outings bond us together with memories.
Join a yoga class or sign up for a massage. Carve out your ideas in our fully equipped woodshop, or visit the nearby downtown to enjoy the best Ames has to offer. Stroll through the community gardens, or nurture one of your own. Every day at Northcrest brings memories to cherish, moments to smile about and friends to share the hours with. This is your community for life.
Design the Next Chapter of Your Life
“Retirement community” barely scratches the surface of all Northcrest has to offer. Life here means freedom from the daily surprises of home ownership. Here you can move from “have to” obligations to “want to” choices. You can choose not only where you live but also how you live each day.
