Every apartment at Avalon Park is a home of your own, and you get to pick the size that fits the way you live. The Oak is our cozy studio, with the same modern appliances and Wi-Fi as every other residence.
Several one-bedroom layouts give you more room to spread out. The Linden has two private balconies, one off the living area and one off the bedroom, plus a kitchen island for cooking and eating. The Maple has a breakfast bar for your morning coffee, and the Elm has a walk-through kitchen and open living area that's made for having friends and neighbors over. The Cypress is a roomy two-bedroom with an extended kitchen bar, and that second bedroom works nicely as a guest room, a study or a den.
Many St. Charles, MO, seniors looking at one-bedroom apartments want a plan that's easy to get around in, and the Birch is built for exactly that. It's an ADA one-bedroom, one-bath plan, and the Ash is its two-bedroom, two-bath ADA cousin. Both have countertops lowered for wheelchair access and grab bars in the bathroom, so you can stay comfortable in your apartment as your needs change.
Inside every apartment there's a full kitchen with a dishwasher, disposal, and a refrigerator and freezer with an ice maker. You also get a full-size washer and dryer, a walk-in shower, plenty of storage and a private balcony or patio. You can look through each of our floor plans and picture your own furniture and artwork in the space, because decorating is entirely up to you.
A standard apartment lease in St. Charles pays for the apartment and its utilities. The typical rent in the city runs about $1,380 a month, and meals, cleaning and rides around town are still separate costs on top of that. Avalon Park's all-inclusive senior apartments bring all of that into one monthly rate, so you know what to expect each month.
Dining is a big part of it. Our Executive Chef oversees everything in the kitchen, from elegant meals served tableside in the dining room to gourmet grab-and-go choices at the Chef's Pantry. Menus change often and use locally sourced proteins, vegetables and fruits, so there's always a new dish or dessert to try.
Your rate also includes monthly housekeeping, high-speed internet and Wi-Fi, and prompt, professional maintenance. A torn screen or a clogged drain is ours to fix; just let us know and we're on the case. We keep the grounds beautifully landscaped, run complimentary scheduled transportation, and provide carports and 24/7 security monitoring.
Rates depend on the apartment you choose. Our team is glad to walk you through current pricing when you speak with a senior advisor or schedule a visit.
