Independent Living

Living an independent, active lifestyle at Amira Choice Forest Lake means focusing your energy on what matters most to you: community, family and friends, interests and more. With the flexibility of rental living – and without the burden of home maintenance – our residents have the time and space to relish home and community with friendly neighbors in a similar phase of life.

Savor cooking in your own kitchen or let our talented chefs do the work at our restaurant-style dining room. While we take care of home and yard maintenance (we can even handle add-on services like garbage removal, laundry and housekeeping, if you wish), you can enjoy our amenities and programming or get out and explore the area. The choice is yours.

Our pet-friendly senior living community in Forest Lake, Minnesota, is the perfect place to start a new and invigorating chapter of your life, where you can feel confident that support is there should you need it in the future.

Fully Appointed Apartments, from Studios to 2-Bedrooms

Our elegant and spacious apartments offer all the conveniences of a traditional apartment home. Choose from studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts (some with den options) in beautifully designed homes. Enjoy a full kitchen with a complete suite of appliances and enviable views of Forest Lake or downtown. Your apartment also comes with individual climate control, digital satellite TV and guest shared Wi-Fi. Select apartment homes have a private deck – perfect for hosting friends or admiring the starry skies in the evenings. Many floor plans also include high ceilings, walk-in closets and an in-home washer and dryer.
