Welcome to Chartwell Oak Ridges

A desirable location, architectural appeal and convenient services all add to the comfort of life in Oak Ridges. 

Pine forests, creeks, and kettle lakes; libraries, community centres, and parkland; restaurants, cafés, and grocery stores—where can you find both the natural splendor of a protected moraine and all the conveniences of a bustling town? At Chartwell Oak Ridges, we enjoy the best of both worlds due to our location in the desirable Oak Ridges community of Richmond Hill. Explore our continuum of care residence today, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care lifestyles. 

Location, location, location 

Well-situated on historic Yonge Street, there is an abundance of services and amenities within walking and driving distance of our retirement community— including banks, shopping, and a brunch spot right next door—making running errands or meeting up with family for a meal effortless. Though we border a busy street, you’d never know we’re in the heart of the town. We’re surrounded by parks and walking paths that provide a sense of peace and solitude and help us to blend into our affluent residential neighbourhood, which is also home to glacier-made lakes like Lake Wilcox and Bond Lake. 

Thoughtful design and architectural appeal 

Walk through the doors of Chartwell Oak Ridges and you’ll be struck by our inviting ambiance and attractive architectural design. You’ll find the small details—from rich woods and sparkling chandeliers to coffered ceilings and contemporary furnishings—add up to a truly inspiring living space. Something also unique to our residence is our abundance of natural light, the product of floor-to-ceiling windows found throughout our home, as well as our large patios.
