Learn More About Senior Apartments in Cedar Park, TX

 

Since the 1950s, Cedar Park has steadily developed into a thriving suburban town that attracts more families every year, and along with the rest of Greater Austin, it’s been named one of the fastest-growing areas of the country.

Senior apartments are communities geared exclusively toward residents 55+ and provide amenities similar to a typical apartment complex. These communities offer older adults an easier lifestyle by taking care of tasks such as yard work and household repairs, but they typically provide limited organized social events and few additional services compared to those offered by independent or assisted living communities.

Arts, Culture, Entertainment, and Recreation

 

Beginning in the 1880s, the community known as Cedar Park was a simple day-trip destination for residents of Austin who’d take the train north and stroll through a newly built park near the rural depot. Then, as planned communities began springing up in the 1950s, the suburb developed steadily and in proportion with the nearby Texas capital. By the mid-2010s, Greater Austin was firmly among the fastest-growing urban areas in the entire U.S., and Cedar Park today is a thriving suburban town attracting more families every year.

Nearby Lake Travis provides Cedar Park with countless outdoor activities, whether it’s boating, windsurfing, hiking, fishing, or ziplining. In the heart of town, the Cedar Park Sculpture Garden is an outdoor exhibit of rotating works by various artists, along with a walking trail weaving throughout the garden. History buffs of any age could spend hours at the Texas Museum of Science and Technology — which features the Austin area’s first planetarium and a permanent collection of dinosaur bones and other fossils — before heading over to the Austin Steam Train Association for a timeless excursion on a vintage passenger train car into the surrounding Hill Country of Central Texas.
