You step into the residence and notice how naturally the space opens up. Expansive windows bring in steady daylight, while an open-concept layout allows the living area and kitchen to work together without crowding one another. A kitchen island with built-in shelving keeps cookbooks close at hand, serving as a focal point for quiet meals or energetic dinner parties. Just beyond the living space, a private balcony or patio offers a quiet extension outdoors—an easy place to sit with coffee and take in the tree-lined surroundings of Downers Grove.
At Oak Trace, senior living residences are planned to feel established and personal rather than generic. Sophisticated finishes, contemporary kitchens, and elegantly tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers contribute to a modern residential experience, while thoughtful proportions allow furniture, artwork, and daily routines to settle in with ease. The result is a collection of homes that reflect both the character of the community and the way you live within it.
A Distinguished Place to Call Home, Designed for How You Want to Live
Oak Trace approaches apartment living as a series of intentional decisions rather than a single repeated model. Residences vary in layout, scale, and flow, allowing you to select a home that aligns with how you spend your time—whether that means hosting often, maintaining dedicated work or hobby space, or enjoying a quieter daily routine.
Across independent living residences, design details support everyday life: kitchens with islands and built-in shelving, expansive windows that bring in natural light, generous storage, and private patios in select layouts. Housekeeping services and scheduled transportation simplify daily logistics, allowing your attention to remain on how you use your space rather than how you maintain it.
One-Bedroom Residences: Right-Sized, Comfortable, and Easy to Personalize
One-bedroom senior apartments at Oak Trace appeal to residents who appreciate efficiency without compromise. These layouts offer clearly defined living, dining, and sleeping areas while maintaining an open, connected feel that allows the space to function comfortably day to day.
Standout One-Bedroom Residences
Residences such as Cambridge, Dunham, and Essex introduce open living areas paired with practical kitchen layouts and ample storage. Bay windows bring in natural light while creating comfortable seating or reading zones.
Larger one-bedroom options like Fairmont, Highland, and Jefferson add flexibility through expanded living areas, additional baths, or generous walk-in closets—features that make hosting easier while preserving privacy.
For residents seeking added versatility, one-bedroom-plus-den layouts such as Clayton and The Knottingham offer a dedicated secondary space well suited to a home office, studio, or quiet retreat.
From Layout to Lifestyle
In these residences, daily routines settle in quickly. Kitchens support both casual meals and longer conversations. Living areas accommodate familiar furniture arrangements. With housekeeping scheduled and transportation available, apartments remain orderly and easy to manage, while community amenities—from dining venues to fitness and arts spaces—remain close at hand.
Two-Bedroom Residences: Space That Adapts Over Time
Two-bedroom apartments at Oak Trace provide additional room for guests, projects, or shared living without excess. These layouts appeal to couples and individuals who value separation between private and shared spaces while maintaining a cohesive overall flow.
Standout Two-Bedroom Residences
Residences such as Lemont and Parkview offer balanced layouts with open living areas and well-positioned bedrooms that support both hosting and everyday comfort.
Larger options like Evergreen, Hudson, and Jameson introduce expanded living space, multiple baths, and walk-out patios that extend the residence outdoors. For those seeking the most expansive apartment living, layouts such as Lincoln, Richmond, Winthrop, and Wexford provide generous square footage, additional dens, and flexible arrangements that accommodate changing interests and routines.
From Layout to Lifestyle
Two-bedroom residences often become natural gathering places. Guest rooms remain ready. Secondary spaces support focused work or creative pursuits. When residents step out to attend lectures, fitness classes, or social gatherings, they return to a residence that feels settled, personal, and distinctly their own.
Townhome Living: A Residential Feel with Community Access
Townhome living at Oak Trace, offering a more traditional residential experience paired with seamless access to the broader community. These homes provide added scale, privacy, and direct entry, along with attached garages that support familiar routines.
Living and dining areas are sized for hosting, while private outdoor spaces extend daily living beyond the interior. Landscaping, housekeeping, and maintenance services remain included, allowing townhome living to feel established without added responsibility.
From Layout to Lifestyle
Townhome residents often value continuity. Daily patterns remain familiar, storage accommodates long-held belongings, and garage access simplifies errands. At the same time, dining venues, walking paths, and shared spaces remain easily accessible, keeping community life close without intruding on the privacy of home.
Assisted Living Residences That Balance Privacy and Daily Confidence
Assisted living residences at Oak Trace maintain the same residential sensibility found throughout the community while offering layouts planned for additional assistance as needed. Apartments range from efficient one-bedroom options to larger two-bedroom residences, each providing private baths, well-proportioned living areas, and room for personal furnishings.
Layouts emphasize straightforward navigation and familiarity. Galley kitchens allow residents to prepare coffee or light meals, while living areas support both time alone and visits from friends or family. Storage accommodates long-held belongings, helping residents maintain a sense of continuity within a setting they already know.
Choosing a Senior Living Apartment That Supports How You Live
Selecting a residence often begins by paying attention to how you already live—where you gather, where you prefer quiet, and which features simplify your routines. The strongest choices tend to mirror existing habits while offering flexibility for interests that may take on a larger role over time.
What to Consider as You Explore Floor Plans
- How spaces connect. Kitchens that open into living areas support conversation and shared meals.
- Where privacy matters. Second bedrooms, dens, or defined living areas offer separation when desired.
- Everyday practicality. Storage, laundry access, and proximity to dining or fitness spaces influence daily flow.
- Room for change. Flexible layouts allow routines to remain familiar while accommodating evolving priorities.
Oak Trace offers a broad range of residence types, making it possible to weigh these considerations thoughtfully and choose a home that aligns with both current routines and future plans.
Experience the Residences Where Life Comes Together
Floor plans offer useful context, but spending time inside a residence reveals scale, light, and proportion in ways drawings cannot. Walking through the apartments and townhomes at Oak Trace brings clarity to how rooms connect, how furnishings fit, and how each space supports daily life.
An in-person visit also shows how private residences connect naturally to the broader community—from dining venues to wellness spaces and walking paths. Exploring Oak Trace firsthand allows you to see how a residence becomes a true home through use, familiarity, and choice.
