What Makes a Residence Feel Like Home? Inside the Senior Living Apartments at Friendship Village of Bloomington

Sleek, timeless interiors offer a canvas for your personal aesthetic. A four-season porch supports both gathering and solitude, its wide windows tracing Bloomington’s changing colors throughout the year. Recessed kitchen skylights and a generous island encourage hands-on cooking, from weeknight meals to full spreads shared with friends. A sense of home is built through a hundred different details, grounded in the way you live and the atmosphere you curate. 

At Friendship Village of Bloomington, our senior living residences create the foundation for intuitive living. From one-bedroom abodes to spacious townhomes complete with a private garage, our diverse, thoughtfully designed layouts feel distinguished, adaptable, and distinctly livable.

A Distinguished Place to Call Home, Designed for How You Want to Live

Instead of forcing every resident into the same layout, apartments at Friendship Village of Bloomington come in multiple configurations that account for how people actually use their space—whether that means hosting family, carving out a creative corner, or simply enjoying an open, light-filled living area.

Across residence types, many apartments share common features that enhance daily life: pet-friendly options, modern appliances, upscale finishes, in-home laundry, and weekly housekeeping that removes everyday maintenance from your to-do list. The focus stays on giving you a space that feels complete on its own, while quietly supporting it with services that keep life running smoothly.

One-Bedroom Residences: Right-Sized, Comfortable, and Easy to Personalize

One-bedroom apartments at Friendship Village of Bloomington appeal to residents who value efficiency without sacrificing style or flexibility. These layouts provide clearly defined living, dining, and sleeping areas, while remaining easy to navigate and personalize.

Standout One-Bedroom Residences

The Overlook, one of the community’s newer residences, offers a modern open layout with a generous kitchen island and abundant natural light. A foyer-accessible half bath adds convenience for guests, while the private bedroom suite includes a walk-in closet and full bath—ideal for residents who enjoy entertaining but want a sense of separation.

The Kingsdale stands out for its sense of openness and connection to the outdoors. A private balcony extends the living space, while the pass-through kitchen sits comfortably between dining and living areas, making it easy to host casual meals or quiet mornings with coffee.

For those who prefer a slightly more compact footprint without losing polish, The Orchard delivers an expansive living area paired with a roomy primary suite and a conveniently placed powder room near the kitchen—an understated detail that makes everyday hosting feel effortless.

From Layout to Lifestyle 

In one-bedroom residences, personalization often begins quickly. Shelving fills with books and art. Dining tables settle into place for regular lunches with friends. With housekeeping scheduled and on-site maintenance handled, apartments stay orderly without effort. Access to Friendship Village of Bloomington’s dining venues, fitness center, art studio, and resident gardens remains steps away rather than a drive across town.

Two-Bedroom Residences: Space to Stretch, Host, and Adapt

Two-bedroom apartments offer added flexibility for residents who want room for guests, hobbies, or a dedicated office. These layouts are particularly appealing to couples or individuals who enjoy a bit more spatial freedom.

Standout Two-Bedroom Residences

The Ramsey provides a classic two-bedroom configuration with a generous living area, comfortable kitchen, and dining space. It’s a layout that adapts easily—whether the second bedroom becomes a guest room, studio, or personal library.

For residents seeking even more versatility, The Oxbow includes two bedrooms plus a den, creating a natural division between shared living space and quieter areas. The dining area comfortably accommodates larger gatherings, while the primary suite features a private bath for added privacy.

At the top end of this category, The Hyland offers an expansive layout with two full bedroom suites, each connected to a walk-in closet and private bathroom. A powder room near the dining area adds convenience, and a private balcony creates a peaceful extension of the living space—perfect for morning routines or birdwatching throughout the seasons.

From Layout to Lifestyle 

Two-bedroom residences often become gathering points. Guest rooms stay ready for visiting family. Dens evolve into studios or reading rooms. Residents step out to attend lectures in the auditorium, join fitness classes, or meet friends across Friendship Village of Bloomington’s four dining venues—Elements, The Loon’s Nest, Fruit N’ Nut Cafe, and Oak Terrace Lounge—before returning to a residence that remains calm and distinctly personal. 

Townhome Living: A Residential Feel With Community Connection

For those drawn to a more traditional residential experience, the Parkview Townhome offers scale, privacy, and direct access to Friendship Village of Bloomington’s broader offerings. Two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a four-season porch, and an attached two-car garage support everyday routines alongside entertaining.

Formal dining and expansive living areas create space for hosting, while landscaping, maintenance, and housekeeping services remain included. The result is a residence that mirrors private-home living while remaining fully connected to a nationally recognized Life Care Community

From Layout to Lifestyle 

Townhome residents often describe a strong sense of continuity. Morning routines remain familiar. Storage accommodates long-held belongings. Garage access simplifies daily errands. Beyond the front door, fitness classes, social clubs, and cultural programming remain readily available, allowing each day to unfold with choice and flexibility.

Assisted Living Residences That Balance Privacy and Daily Confidence

Assisted living residences at Friendship Village of Bloomington extend the same attention to livability and personalization found throughout the community, while introducing layouts planned for added assistance as needed. Apartments range from efficient one-bedroom options to two-bedroom residences, each offering private baths, comfortable living areas, and room for personal furnishings, artwork, and familiar routines.

These residences are arranged to support daily life with discretion and continuity. Living spaces remain easy to navigate, storage accommodates long-held belongings, and layouts allow residents to maintain independence while having access to additional services when helpful. The result is a collection of assisted living apartments that feel composed and residential, offering both privacy and reassurance within a setting residents already know well.

Choosing a Senior Living Apartment That Supports How You Live

Finding the right residence begins with an honest look at your daily habits and priorities. The most successful choices tend to reflect how you already spend your time, while leaving room for interests that may grow over the years.

What to Consider as You Explore Floor Plans

  • How you gather. Open kitchens, dining areas, and porches support hosting, shared meals, and unplanned conversation.
  • How you spend time alone. Second bedrooms, dens, or alcoves offer space for reading, writing, or creative projects that benefit from focus.
  • What you want close at hand. Storage, in-home laundry, and proximity to dining venues or wellness spaces can shape how easily your days unfold.
  • How your needs may evolve. Flexible layouts allow routines to remain familiar while accommodating change over time.

At Friendship Village of Bloomington, the breadth of independent and assisted living layouts makes it possible to weigh these considerations thoughtfully and choose a residence that aligns with both current routines and future plans.
