Active seniors considering moving to a retirement community are invited to tour available patio homes during an open house event at Christian City on Saturday, August 18, 9am – 1pm. “We have a number of one and two-bedroom patio homes that are move-in-ready and available for lease now,” said Jane Finch, Executive Director of Active Senior Living at Christian City.
 
There are four neighborhoods of patio homes on the 500-acre Christian City campus, located in south Fulton County between Fairburn and Fayetteville. Active seniors over the age of 60 can lease a home for life.
 
“Our program allows the resident to pay a one-time amount to lease a home for the remainder of his or her life,” says Finch. Utilities are included for select communities. And a monthly maintenance fee covers trash removal, recycling, pest control and general maintenance service.
 
Amenities available to residents include a strengthening center, indoor swimming pool, walking paths, planned activities, events and classes at the recreation center. Arts Alliance member and volunteer chaplain Jan Gwaltney has enjoyed living in her patio home at Christian City for eight years. “Christian City is not just affordable. It’s a special, neighborly place to live,” she says. “From live concerts and resident art shows to recreational activities and classes, there is always something to do. We look out for our neighbors, and I feel safe here,” Gwaltney says.
