Homeownership Model: Financial Security and Equity for Seniors

Unlike traditional senior rental communities, Legacy at Mills River offers a homeownership model so residents can own their homes and build equity while benefiting from the conveniences of a Continuing Care Retirement Community. This approach offers financial advantages, long-term stability, and personalized living spaces.

Phased Development for Comprehensive Senior Care

Phase 1 includes 135 Manor Homes with 55 distinct floor plans for independent style living. Residents will enjoy a luxurious yet low-maintenance lifestyle, complete with concierge-level services and social programming.

Phase 2 will include a dedicated healthcare wing, adding assisted living facilities and skilled nursing care.

Upon completion, Legacy at Mills River will be the first ground-up CCRC development in Western North Carolina in over 20 years, providing a seamless continuum of care so residents can age in place with confidence.

Setting a New Standard for Senior Living in North Carolina

Legacy at Mills River is designed for active, independent retirees who want the best of both worlds—homeownership and a full suite of luxury amenities. With a commitment to lifelong wellness, financial security, and high-quality care, this innovative senior living community sets a new benchmark for retirement communities in North Carolina
