How Active Adult Living Supports Your Adventures

Whether it’s a weekend getaway or an extended trip, The Reserve of Geneva makes it easier for residents to embrace a travel-filled lifestyle. Here’s how:

• Hassle-Free Home Maintenance – In a traditional home setting, chores like yard work and home repairs can cause stress when it comes to planning a trip. But in a 55+ community, much of the day-to-day home upkeep is taken care of for you. At The Reserve, we handle the exterior upkeep and home maintenance so residents can travel with confidence, knowing their home will be in great shape when they return.  
• Lock-and-Leave Lifestyle – With controlled entry access, on-site staff, and 24/7security features, residents can travel with peace of mind, knowing their home is safe while they are away. This is particularly beneficial for residents who enjoy taking longer trips or who simply want to enjoy spontaneous weekend getaways without the hassle of coordinating home care.
• Built-In Travel Buddies – Another perk of active adult living is the built-in social network. Residents at The Reserve can travel with neighbors or join community-organized trips, making it easy to explore new places with friends.
• Amenities When You’re Home – Between trips, you can take advantage of resort-style amenities, including our on-site fitness center, community social events, and engaging activities. At The Reserve, residents can enjoy a fulfilling lifestyle whether they are traveling the world or relaxing at home.
• More Freedom to Travel – Without the burden of constant repairs, property taxes, and the high costs of maintaining a house, many residents find they have more disposable time and income for travel. Whether you’re taking a cruise or enjoying a quick weekend getaway, you’ll have more freedom to spend on your travel experiences.

At The Reserve of Geneva, we believe travel is an important part of living life to the fullest. Whether you’re checking off destinations on your bucket list or simply discovering the beauty around Geneva and the Chicagoland area, our community provides the resources and peace of mind to support your travel dreams with ease and confidence.
