We get it. Homes in senior living communities have a reputation for being less than inspiring. That’s why we understand when people ask pointed questions about the homes we offer at Blue Skies of Texas in San Antonio. And every time, folks are happily surprised by the answers we give. Let’s look at some of these questions now.

WHY ARE THE HOMES AT BLUE SKIES WEST IN HIGH DEMAND?

When folks tour our San Antonio retirement community, they fall in love with the spacious apartment residences and single-level dream homes at Blue Skies West, nestled in 500 acres of well-manicured Hill Country. And it’s easy to see why.

At the center of the action stand The Towers, four sophisticated buildings offering seven stories of lakeside apartment living just a short walk from cultural experiences, fine dining, fitness classes, and more. Prefer a quiet neighborhood setting? Our single-level homes in The Gardens offer a luxurious lifestyle with vaulted ceilings, gourmet kitchens, and gas fireplaces—not to mention the largest floor plans at Blue Skies. West Campus is also the setting for The Oaks, a neighborhood of spacious three-bedroom homes that set the perfect scene for entertaining. And for the ultimate in tranquility, the two-bedroom homes at The Lakes are situated in a quiet enclave with abundant green spaces.

WHAT MAKES THE HOMES AT BLUE SKIES EAST STAND OUT?

For starters, there’s the location. Blue Skies East is just 13 miles from San Antonio’s world-class stores, parks, restaurants, and entertainment venues—and you can’t beat the views of the cityscape and countryside.

Homes here have a distinctly urban flair as well. Our tallest East Campus buildings—The Hi-Rise and The Mid-Rise—are close to the main hub of social events, dining experiences, indoor pool, and more. Even better, many of the apartment homes in both buildings recently received HGTV-worthy makeovers. And our luxurious condominium-style homes in The Hills feature floor-to-ceiling windows, private decks, gourmet kitchens, and attached parking. The ultimate in independent, maintenance-free living.

CAN WE PERSONALIZE OUR HOME TO SUIT OUR STYLE?

You bet. No matter which maintenance-free home you choose, you can add a personal touch with your choice of cabinetry, countertops, flooring, and paint colors. Many folks even tell us that personalizing their home is the most fun part of their journey to our San Antonio Life Plan community.

Once your floor plan and move-in date are set, our Capital Projects team will work with you to make sure your new home’s colors and finishes reflect your personal style. They’ll also coordinate with our trusted expert contractors if you want to add extra closet space, bookshelves, or anything that requires a bit of building.

WHAT IF WE NEED SOME EXPERT DECORATING HELP?

You’re in luck, because we have a Certified Interior Decorator on staff ready to help you create a space that’s truly your own. It all starts with a one-on-one consultation to talk about your vision and tastes, from furniture and color palette to artwork and rugs. From there, you can select one of three fee-based Interior Decorating Service levels that align with your style and budget. Based on the plan you choose, services may include:

• Furnishing and décor options to suit your unique preferences
• A digital mockup with hand-picked pieces
• Purchase, delivery, and set-up of all furnishings for a single room—or your entire home
• Kitchenware, linens, and everyday essentials stocked in your home and waiting for you before move-in day

DO WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HOUSEKEEPING AND MAINTENANCE?

You’ve spent decades building a career, raising a family, and tending to a home. Now, you have more exciting things to do than cleaning the gutters or scrubbing the bathtub. That’s why your Blue Skies residence includes services like weekly housekeeping, professionally landscaped grounds, and trash collection, as well as interior and exterior home maintenance. So, you can devote more time to traveling, socializing, doting on the grandkids, and pursuing your passions.

THE HOME OF YOUR DREAMS IS WAITING FOR YOU

At Blue Skies senior living community, we appreciate that home is where you go to relax, visit with friends and family, or grab a bit of “me” time. We invite you to bring us your questions about our homes, floor plans, and personalization options.
