Senior Townhouses at Chartwell Belle River in Belle River

Chartwell Belle River’s seniors’ townhouses are ideal for older adults who want the privacy of a standalone home with the added reassurance of living close to a retirement community. Set within our welcoming Belle River setting, our one-bedroom-plus-den townhomes offer a more self-directed lifestyle for those who desire extra space and a quieter residential feel.

Here, you can enjoy the independence of your own front door while having helpful services like landscaping, snow removal, and a 24-hour emergency response call system included. It’s a comfortable option if you’re looking to right-size from a house without giving up the privacy, freedom, and sense of home you value.

Make yourself at home in our seniors’ townhouses

Our one-bedroom-plus-den townhouses are thoughtfully laid out to support everyday living, with a full kitchen, private garage, and yard space. The den gives you flexibility to create a hobby room, reading nook, home office, or comfortable space for overnight guests.

You can prepare your own meals, keep favourite ingredients on hand, and enjoy the familiar rhythm of life in a private home. Outside, yard space gives you a place to enjoy fresh air, while your private garage adds convenience through every season. With key outdoor maintenance taken care of, you can spend more time enjoying your home and less time looking after it.
