Step into a setting where retirement and growing older brings new opportunities for growth, friendships and lifelong learning – with the benefit of all-inclusive wellness and health care to enhance your sense of freedom and security. Welcome to The Admiral at the Lake, the pinnacle of luxury senior living on the lakefront of the City of Chicago.
Founded in 1858, The Admiral at the Lake has a long history of serving older adults of all faiths and nationalities. The Admiral draws its name from the historic hotel that once occupied its site, and residents come from nearly every walk of life and hail from Chicago, the suburbs, and as far away as New York, California and New Orleans.
“The Admiral is focused on providing a quality environment that engenders an ageless spirit, promotes health and wellness and fosters engagement, collaboration and liberating choices,” says Katie O’Brien, Director of Sales and Marketing of The Admiral at the Lake. “With acres of beautiful parkland, scenic city views, lakefront trails and the beauty of the nearby Chicago Park District, The Admiral at the Lake, an exceptional Life Plan Community, is truly one of a kind.”
An Exceptional Address
From its stunning site on the shore of Lake Michigan, The Admiral at the Lake’s 31-story tower serves as an iconic gateway from Lake Shore Drive to Chicago’s artsy Edgewater neighborhood – one of the most culturally diverse areas in the United States. With panoramic, unobstructed lakefront views overlooking Lincoln Park, Foster Avenue Beach is just 420 steps from The Admiral’s front door.
Besides exploring Lincoln Park’s beaches, walking and bike paths, meditation garden and playing fields, residents will also enjoy access to five rooftop terraces and a large garden on the grounds made possible by The Admiral’s distinctive, multilevel design. Just across the street are the prestigious Saddle & Cycle Club and Dominick’s new flagship retail development.
A Lifestyle of Unlimited Luxury
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live in a beautiful, maintenance-free home where someone else takes care of the chores, leaving you free to enjoy all of life’s pleasures? As a resident of The Admiral, what you choose to do with your free time is entirely up to you. Swim a few laps in our indoor, heated pool. Take a yoga class or workout in the fitness center. Treat yourself to a manicure or haircut at our salon. Enjoy delicious meals through our flexible dining program. Attend a watercolor class in our creative arts studio. Curl up with a best seller in our extensive library or club room. Explore the surrounding neighborhoods, perhaps taking in a movie or play, unearthing a treasure at a nearby antique shop, or strolling through the park or along the beach. Join or help organize one of our resident-run cultural, social or recreational special events. At The Admiral, nothing is planned for you, but everything is planned with you in mind.
