A Senior Living Community in Summit, NJ

Just beyond the bustle of Summit’s village green—where brick sidewalks pass cafés and trains hum through the station—Brandywine Living at Summit offers an elegant counterpoint to the city’s movement.

You might start the day beside the koi pond, where the water stirs gently and the morning air carries a quiet calm. Later, the fireplace warms the lounge as you enjoy iced tea and conversation, or you might join friends for a midday treat in the dining room—sunlight filtering through tall windows, crystal glasses catching the light. In the afternoon, a manicure in the salon leaves you feeling as polished as the atmosphere itself.

Evenings bring their own rituals: the chandelier glows overhead, music from the baby grand piano drifts through the lounge, and cocktails are shared over chess in the game room. It’s a refined setting, made remarkable by how effortlessly it feels like home.
