Healthy. Happy. Friendly. Social. Engaged. Creative. Fun.
These are some of the many words that describe life at Hillcrest. If you’re 62 or better, our village-within-a-village community is your ally to simplifying your life while amplifying your enjoyment.
Not Your Typical Retirement Community.
In fact, you don’t have to be retired at all, many Hillcrest residents are still working. For people who tire of the fast streets and freeways of Los Angeles or who can’t see themselves moving to a typical, high-density 62+ lifestyle community or a condo, Hillcrest offers a beautiful alternative: Tucked into the heart of La Verne and spanning over 50 acres, Hillcrest has a small-town vibe that embraces the best of SoCal living.
Gardeners, artists, academics, lifelong learners, wellness enthusiasts and ageless spirits from diverse backgrounds are discovering this hidden gem, and loving what they find here. Resident interests inspire diverse social, educational and recreational programs. Activities range from hiking to crafts to lectures to field trips. An active volunteer program benefits Hillcrest and the surrounding communities.
The Wellness Community.
We have more than a few inspiring “super-agers” who continue to be competitive athletes in their age group and many fitness enthusiasts who are redefining what it means to age well. Of course, staying in shape is easier with Hillcrest’s private 10,500 sq. ft. state-of-the-art fitness center, which features an indoor pool, spa, personal trainer and more than a dozen fitness classes each week.
Classes are led by trained and certified instructors. Tai chi and yoga are wonderful for increasing strength, coordination, improving balance and enhancing mental acuity.
Yoga-based Stretch & Flex, our Better Balance program to improve balance and posture and Core Mat classes specifically target the muscles of the trunk.
