Mr. Van Etten

SongBrook is a lovely retirement-age community in a thoughtfully designed and well maintained park-like setting. I've found the people here to be friendly and outgoing, but also respectful of their neighbor's privacy and right to enjoy a clean and quiet living environment. I purchased a home in early 2008, and feel quite lucky to have found such an attractive residence at such a reasonable price. Having looked at four other senior parks in the Eugene area, I can say with confidence that in terms of location, overall condition, street arrangement, and layout of facilities and common areas, SongBrook rates at the top of the list. Additionally, I travel to and from another residence I have in northern California, and though I often leave for several weeks at a time, I've never worried about coming back to discover something bad has happened while I was gone. It seems you can participate in the group-oriented activities here as much or as little as you might wish -- there's no pressure to be a "joiner". I myself came up here to write and enjoy the many activities available and great natural beauty of the Willamette Valley. For those of you who've not been here, the city of Eugene is just fantastic -- so many varied cultural events are offered in a good-sized metropolitan area that hasn't lost its small town feel. Lastly, let me remark about the staff and management: they're all very good people who are consistently concerned, knowledgable, and courteous. As soon as I met the, it was evident that Troy and Cheryl enjoy their work and take real pride in what has been accomplished here. I feel fortunate to have found this situation and would highly recommend putting SongBrook on your "must see" list if you're looking for a fun, comfortable, and secure living arrangement.
