It was perfect for our needs. Mom is still independent. She doesn't need assisted living at this point. All the assisted living facilities that I looked at shared laundry facilities, didn't have a separate garage for each resident nor full kitchens. Emerald Cottages was perfect for her!

Great experience

We chose Emerald Cottages of Waco because it was the only one we found that fit all of our desires. Facilities like that are limited around here. The apartment sizes here are great, we are in a 2 bedroom. I would want others to know that the location and access to this facility are excellent. I would highly recommend to others.

I went on a virtual tour using the Zoom application with [name removed] from Emerald Cottages of Waco. I had a wonderful experience throughout my visit with Lynda and viewing the wonderful two bedroom two bath one car garage apartment floor plan. This apartment was beautiful and had everything necessary for a comfortable and pleasant living style. Thank you, [name removed].

Beautiful Landscape

My husband and I are just in love with where we are living. We have lived in the country side all our life and moving here we still feel like we are. We’re behind the Barton Square Center so I can hop in my car and go there if I want to or go to a nearby restaurant. Everything is really convenient to get to; they even opened up a new H.E.B. It’s a brand new area so they are still building the new center for exercise and activities. It looks big and I can’t wait until it’s finished. At the moment the area seems a bit empty because since it fairly new, not a lot of people have moved in. There are about 32 units and I feel that it’s not well advertised enough. I could beg people to come live here because I feel like people are missing out. They have a wonderful maintenance staff as well. If something breaks like a light bulb or a filter needs changing they would come on by and fix it. However, everything would rarely break which is good. What is also nice is that a part of our deal we get a free meal at the Arbor House which is walking distance from here. It kind of gets me up to do a little exercise if I wanted to go there and eat. Overall, this location is wonderful and the landscaping is beautifully done.

This facility provides very nice two bedroom individual cottages with larges single garages on ground level. No steps to fight! There will be some construction in the area, as they finish the common area, and Central Texas Marketplace builds out the final open areas that are undeveloped. Probably two or three more stores depending on the size.
