A Senior Living Community in Watchung, NJ

High above the borough, where the trees stretch toward the ridge and the air shifts slightly cooler, you’ll find Brandywine Living at Mountain Ridge, primed to support the retirement lifestyle you’ve always imagined.

You might start the day with a sunrise walk on the putting green, listening to the stir of the woods below. A few hours later, you’re in the bistro café, reaching for a chilled glass of iced tea and catching up with a neighbor over lemon bars and soft jazz in the background. In the evening, the energy shifts: poker in the lounge, karaoke in the pub, a cooking demo in the dining room that draws a crowd with nothing more than the scent.

Tucked into the first ridge of the Watchung Mountains, the community feels lifted—by its elevation, by its natural light, and by the sense that you’ve landed somewhere where each day feels intentionally yours.

Why Choose Brandywine Living at Mountain Ridge?

At Mountain Ridge, the structure is there, but it’s seamless. Your calendar is curated around your interests, your care plan adjusts with you, and your time is your own again. You can join a lively game of pool with friends, host a family BBQ in the garden, or wind down with live music in the courtyard as the sun settles behind the trees. Everything from the flowers in the common areas to the snacks in the bistro has been considered, because when the weight of the details is off your shoulders, your days open up.
