Thousands of energetic seniors have toured our San Antonio Life Plan Community since we opened our doors in 1970. And they all ask great questions about everything from customizing their homes to what kind of food is served in our gourmet restaurants.
As you might expect, some topics pop up more than others. So, we thought it would be helpful to create a series of articles that give you quick answers to the questions we hear most often. To start things off, we’re answering the most common questions about choosing and personalizing the perfect senior living home.
1. What Do People Like Most About the Homes at Blue Skies West?
Home is more than just walls, windows, and floors at Blue Skies. It’s a place that reflects your unique style and inspires you to live out your greatest potential. Our West Campus features spacious single-family and apartment homes nestled among more than 500 well-manicured acres. Plus, you’ll be steps away from social events, fabulous dining, cultural programs, and more.
While all the residences at Blue Skies West are spacious and well appointed, you might be wondering which senior living floor plans are most popular. Folks who choose our sleek Tower apartment homes find that our one- and two-bedroom layouts give them plenty of space to live, relax, and entertain. Bonus: The private balconies offer spectacular views of the beautiful Texas Hill Country. If a little extra “elbow room” is in order, our two- and three-bedroom homes in quaint neighborhoods more than fit the bill with their open concept living and dining areas, vaulted ceilings, patios, and attached garages.
2. Why Are Folks Drawn to the Homes at Blue Skies East?
East Campus residents in our bustling Life Plan Community in San Antonio enjoy gracious living with gorgeous views of the San Antonio skyline. Located just 13 miles from the city hub, Blue Skies East is close to stores, parks, restaurants, and every cultural attraction imaginable. Ideal for people who love to see and be seen.
What’s more, dozens of floor plans have been renovated in The Hi-Rise and The Mid-Rise apartment homes. These splendid residences now boast features like open-concept living areas and dining rooms, state-of-the-art kitchen appliances, spacious closets, and open-air balconies. (Our one bedroom, one bathroom apartment homes are in particularly high demand these days.) For those who desire a little more privacy—yet still want to be close to the action—our stylish two-bedroom homes in The Hills are a popular choice with their mature landscaping and private patios.
3. Can We Customize Our Home to Suit Our Lifestyle and Tastes?
Absolutely! In fact, many folks tell us that customizing their home is the most fun part of their journey to our San Antonio retirement community.
Once your floor plan and move-in date are set, our Capital Projects team will work with you to transform your ideas into reality. You can choose from a wide range of styles and colors for flooring, cabinetry, granite, paint, tile, and more. Need some expert design help? We’ll refer you to one of our interior design partners—all of whom are familiar with every square inch of our floor plans.
If you want to add a linen closet or increase the size of your shower stall, the Capital Projects team will coordinate with our trusted expert contractors to make it happen. One couple even took advantage of a unique opportunity to have their new apartment home gutted and rebuilt it to their exact specifications!
4. What Services Are Included with Our New Home?
Some of the best “features” of the senior living homes at Blue Skies are ones you won’t actually see during a tour. But you’ll start enjoying them the day you move in. We’re talking, of course, about the services and conveniences that let you spend more time learning, growing, contributing, and living life to the fullest. Here’s a small sampling of what you can look forward to:
- All interior and exterior home maintenance
- Weekly housekeeping
- Professionally landscaped grounds
- Trash and recycling collection
- 24-hour urgent response system
- Regularly scheduled transportation
- HD basic plus cable TV
5. Will Blue Skies Help Us Handle the Moving Process?

You’ll also have a dedicated Relocation Specialist, who will organize all the details big and small, so you don’t have to play phone tag or answer endless emails.
