About Arbor Trace
The first senior living development in southwest Florida to offer deeded condominium ownership with 100% equity, Arbor Trace combines the independence of home ownership, the peace of mind in knowing qualified lifetime health care is available onsite, and all the comforts of a full-service resort-style lifestyle for seniors 55 and over.
Since December 2007, when the residents of Arbor Trace joined together to purchase the Arbor Club, including the full-service restaurant and assisted living facility, we have been a completely resident-owned community. We are ‘Masters of Our Own Destiny’ with control of all maintenance and club fees ourselves. This allows us to offer a variety of high-quality services and amenities while also keeping a close eye on reducing expenses.
Opened in 1991, the first phase of Arbor Trace consisted of 91 lakefront villas and mid-rise condominium residences along with the 36,000 square foot clubhouse facility surrounding Arbor Lake. The second and final phase is now complete with the 17-level high-rise, Tower Pointe at Arbor Trace, consisting of 116 residences and amenities, such as the Gathering Place on the ground floor and the Top of the Pointe Club on the rooftop level with unobstructed panoramic views that overlook the Gulf of Mexico and Little Hickory Bay.
Arbor Trace came out number one for independent living and availability of all the services we thought were important when we started our research. We’re happy with our decision to come to Arbor Trace and the ownership opportunity it provides. In addition to the wonderful services, we’re just delighted with the friendly and welcoming atmosphere... this is a community of friendship! • John & Virginia Dill • Arbor Trace homeowners since 2005
At Arbor Trace we believe that success is a team effort, that a community that cares for one another—residents, staff, management—promotes a lifelong spirit of enthusiasm and vitality.
All Senior Communities
are NOT the Same
Ownership vs. CCRCs, Rentals & Cooperatives
Senior communities come in a variety of styles—from Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs), to rental arrangements, shared equity cooperatives and equity ownership.
When comparing your options, be sure you understand the differences in financial commitment, control over decisions, health care options, and both availability and flexibility of services and amenities. Are there medical conditions for admission or an entrance fee that may or not be refundable should you change your mind?
Arbor Trace is based on the time-honored tradition of home ownership through fee simple title with 100% equity. Your home is your property, and can be sold at any time with 100% of the equity and appreciation returned to the seller or the seller’s estate. Properties can be rented, sold, or left to heirs. Homeowners have controlling voices through membership in condominium associations and maintain complete control over financial assets as well as future health care decisions.
At Arbor Trace there are no financial or medical requirements as conditions of ownership.
