Lakehaven Austin sits on a quiet stretch of Lake Austin Boulevard with a view of Mount Bonnell from the rooftop garden. The building was purpose-designed as senior living, not a converted apartment block, so apartments have wider doorways, level-entry showers, and pull-cord alerts in every room.
Most days start in the bistro for coffee and the front-page New York Times read-aloud, then the activity board takes over: water aerobics in the saltwater pool, painting studio, a walking club that loops through the neighborhood, and a once-a-week trip out to a local cultural event in Austin.
