Ivy Point Cypress on Mueschke Road is an active-adult community with one- to two- bedroom oor plans that opened in 2020. Another aspect the people who move to the community enjoy is the quietness compared to the city, Sandoval said. Ivy Point Cypress resident Anna Perry said she chose to live in an active-adult community in Cypress because she is closer to her family as well as hospitals, shopping centers and Hwy. 290.
Local senior living ocials said seniors desire living in a place that promotes a sense of community. Eva Sandoval, assistant manager at Ivy Point Cypress, said many seniors move to the active-adult community for the social aspect in which they can relate to others. “They want to be surrounded by like-minded individuals who are in a similar stage of life, allowing them to share common experiences and build relationships,” she said.
