Many American seniors are seeking nontraditional residential options that let them stay independent and pursue interests without the burden of home upkeep.
Arise Knox Square in Hoover, completed in March 2025, is designed for active adults 55+ who want easy, luxurious living in Birmingham. The community offers apartment homes and cottages, resort-style amenities, and direct access to The Village at Knox Square for restaurants, services and shopping.
It’s also a warm, social environment. Resident Beth Kern downsized and sold her home before moving into an apartment at Arise Knox Square.
“We don’t have to do any of that here,” she said of home maintenance. “It’s much easier.”
The community has exceeded her expectations. “I’ve met so many great people. It’s like one big family. I just wanted to start over, and I was able to do that here.”
Lifestyle programming is a central part of life at Arise. Residents enjoy classes, social events and outings to places such as the Birmingham Museum of Art and Irondale Café. Betsy Settle, the Lifestyle Concierge, organizes programs while also encouraging residents to create their own groups, such as writing or quilting clubs.
“We always have something to do,” Beth said. “Betsy does such a good job planning great activities.”
