The Cottage Community at NewBridge on the Charles, the state-of-the-art continuing care retirement community (CCRC) from Hebrew SeniorLife, gives a new meaning to “Cottage Living,” offering residents the benefits of a luxury single-family home, with the added amenities and security of a first-class continuing care retirement community. The Cottage lifestyle at NewBridge goes beyond the well-appointed residences and pristine, wooded landscape by providing a host of services, amenities and cultural activities that foster an independent, lively community for residents.

“The Cottages at NewBridge and the lifestyle the campus affords are beyond compare," said Carol Clingan, resident of the NewBridge on the Charles Cottages. "When we decided to move from our home in Newton, Mass. to a Cottage, we still wanted the privacy and independence of a home, but also a beautiful environment in which to enjoy an exciting lifestyle free from the maintenance hassles of home ownership. At NewBridge, there's more to do than there are hours in the day - from working out in the fitness center, to taking classes, to attending concerts and movies. We're having more fun and meeting more new friends than we ever anticipated!”

Opened in June 2009, the Cottage Community at NewBridge is a cluster of 50 free-standing, single-family homes designed to provide residents with a sense of living in a traditional New England neighborhood. The Cottages range from 1,400 to 2,014 square feet, with options to increase the living space up to 3,200 square feet, and include granite countertops, spacious master suites, high-end appliances and a gas fireplace. Many of the residences have hardwood flooring and patios, and each home boasts a one- or two-car garage. In addition, Cottage Community residents also enjoy a private clubhouse, tennis court and putting green.
