Thrive at Montvale (Opening Spring 2022)

Come To Live Here.
From the beginning, we envisioned a community designed less around senior living and more around – well… living! We envisioned a place that would not only draw people in, but together.

Welcome to Thrive at Montvale.

Located just off the Garden State Parkway and nearby the serene Lake Tappan, this community was created to be just that – a community, a unique haven for people of all kinds and ages to be able to congregate, share stories and smiles, and be a sense of a home away from home.

From the second your foot crosses the threshold of the front door, you will see we have pushed the “senior living design” theory. It’s a place anyone would want to live in regardless of age or ability.

Likely our favorite feature – if it was possible to actually choose just one – is that Thrive at Montvale is introducing the deconstruction of the traditional senior living courtyard. We are unveiling the invention of the Social Court. To give perspective – the Social Court is an enormous, interior greenspace that is nearly two-thirds the size of a standard football field. We won’t be hosting Jets or Giants games there, but you better believe we will be hosting watch parties. Contrary to being an afterthought, this outdoor space is actually designed as a gathering place for the larger local community. Physical distancing won’t even cross your mind with how spacious this spot is. The social court allows natural light to flood the interior of the building, but perhaps more importantly, it enables vibrant outdoor social connectivity for people to gather.

Take a look inside and you’ll find vaulted ceilings and modern farmhouse finishes that honor the Bergen County traditions of old. The Convivium Café has daily craft coffee on brew and gelato for your daily sweet-tooth fix. Keep exploring and you’ll find a theater that seats 75 and a library that gives the Bodleian a run for its money. Four different dining venues allow for a grab-and-go meal or a seated entree that would make Wolfgang Puck stand up and cheer.

Oh, and you are going to want to invite the grandkids. There is a play area just off the café where we used native boulders, ropes, and slides to keep them entertained. We truly believe the best part of your life starts the moment you move in here!

When it comes to innovation in senior living, we didn’t follow the blueprint – we wrote the book.
