The Goodwin House Alexandria Lifestyle

If you’re considering a move to Goodwin House Alexandria, you’re probably wondering what life in your new home will be like.

We want you to feel completely at home in your new surroundings. Get outside and enjoy our landscaped exteriors with a courtyard, personal garden boxes, a fish pond and dedicated dog run. Inside, you’ll enjoy our fitness center, heated pool, library and dining venues. And you can always retreat to your own apartment home, where you can paint and furnish your apartment to your own taste.

Of course, we’re more than just a place to call home. We’re also a welcoming community of active residents, with a range of activities and amenities designed to meet their diverse tastes and preferences.

A Wealth of Amenities

Your monthly fee covers a huge variety of practical amenities, too. Staying connected with friends and family is easy thanks to free Wi-Fi, and you won’t need to worry about paying for parking or utility bills. Cleaning becomes a thing of the past with weekly housekeeping, and you’ll enjoy a continuum of health care services.

Cultural & Educational Programs

At Goodwin House Alexandria, you’ll have access to a wide choice of creative and educational opportunities, such as pottery and painting classes. You can also tread the boards in a theatrical production, attend a lecture or debate the merits of the latest bestseller at a book group meeting.

The community is convenient for local attractions like the Schlesinger Center and Old Town Alexandria, as well as for trips to museums in Washington, D.C.

Physical & Spiritual Wellness

Along with cultural enrichment, we aim to promote an active and healthy lifestyle. You’ll have 24-hour access to our well-equipped fitness center, and day-time schedules filled with group exercise classes and time for you to swim your finest crawl or try water aerobics in our heated indoor pool.

We offer tasty, nutritious meals in a choice of casual, formal and outdoor settings. Cooking sessions and market specials give you tips and new ingredients should you need inspiration for your own culinary creations.

With our roots firmly planted in a tradition of spirituality, we celebrate all walks of life. Our chapel services cover a variety of denominations and faiths. As with any activity at Goodwin Living, there’s no pressure to attend.

Resident Engagement

There’s more to staying engaged than staying active–we encourage you to find your voice and have your say. You can participate in resident councils and committees or get involved in volunteering.

From the moment you walk through the front door, we aim to create a sense of home at Goodwin Living. And we empower you to enjoy that home as you wish, whether that means fewer schedules, more singing, or staying cozy in your private apartment. We want you to enjoy life here! To see for yourself, why not schedule a personal visit to our Alexandria campus to discuss your future?
