I would tell others to look into independent living. It is nice to have family nearby. The rent includes housekeeping and a meal credit. The restaurant is on premises. They have elevators available for the residents.
We toured this community and it was very nice. There were lots of residences here and we were looking for something smaller.
I moved in a year ago, so I was able to get involved in some activities before the virus came along, they had plenty of activities. They are currently building some new apartments that will be two bedrooms, but some of the other ones I have seen are nice size, they have plenty of different sizes to choose from. I have a dog and I love walking him by the lake and golf course, I have actually made some friends this way. Overall, I would recommend this facility to others who are looking.

It’s been so wonderful to have you with us this past year. While most of your time at JKV has been anything but normal, we love to hear you and your pup are taking advantage of our spacious campus, and have had opportunities to safely meet some of your amazing neighbors. Thank you so much for your recommendation, and we’re optimistic the New Year will bring brighter days. Stay safe and let us know if you need any additional support.
Since COVID there are no activities, beforehand there was a lot. There was music and a bunch of other things they had to offer. I really like my apartment, it is well designed. The carpeting is brand new, I have a beautiful sun room with a balcony that is enclosed with windows that open. In the winter time it is heated and air conditioned in the summer. It looks out over a beautiful park. The bedroom and living room are very spacious, it has a very nice kitchenette, and the largest bathroom i have ever had.
Business response:
We’re delighted you’re enjoying your apartment so much, Jack, and that you find it to be warm, comfortable and spacious. While you and your neighbors have been spending increased time in your homes in recent months, we hope it won’t be long before we can safely and responsibly reopen many of our beloved activities and amenities. Until then, please let us know if there’s anything we can do to continue to best support you. Thank you for taking a few minutes to share your experience with us.
This is one of the top five places someone should look at depending on what level of care you are looking for. They have 5 restaurants, so there is a lot to choose from. They are very accommodating. There is a wide variety of floor plans some include garages. I live in a duplex. This is a pet-friendly community and it is very soundproof. You can just rent or buy-in. We also have a golf course, a bowling alley, and a health club with trainers and classes. They have lots of other entertainment and classes on a variety of topic... read more

Thank you for such an uplifting review, Jan. We’re delighted to hear you’re satisfied with your duplex, and the wide range of entertainment, dining and other amenities JKV residents have access to. We’ve certainly had to adjust our offerings in recent months, but are just as committed to your comfort and well-being. We hope it won’t be long before we can enjoy our entire campus together again. Until then, don’t hesitate to let us know if we can do anything to best support you and your neighbors.
It is really hard with the virus. There are so many activities that we moved here for that are on hold. The size of the apartment is not that important. You are not in your unit that much because there is so much to do. People are so friendly and welcoming. The food is good and there are lots of options. We moved here as my husband was recovering from a stroke. He is doing so much better, using the pool and exercise room. He does not even have to leave the building to take advantage of all the amenities. He has gained feelin... read more

We’re so pleased to learn of your husband’s improvement since your move to JKV, Carol. We hope he continues to find our on-site programs and amenities to be an aid in his recovery. We understand how difficult these last few months have been, and the sacrifice you and your neighbors have made for the safety of our community. We hope it won’t be long before you both can enjoy the full JKV experience. Until then, stay safe and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions or requests.
John Knox Village is the best place in the area as far as we are concerned. My mom has a cottage which is working out well for her. My mom likes the food. My mom has a dog and like the set up. They have a lot of great things available, I just can't wait for the quarantine to be lifted so they can enjoy them.
Business response:
We’re delighted your mother and her canine companion are so satisfied with their cottage and the overall lifestyle at JKV, Juanita. We’re so appreciative of the support and cooperation residents have shown during these last few months. We know how challenging it’s been for them and their loved ones, and we hope to be in a position to safely and responsibly welcome you and other visitors back in the near future. Thank you for such kind feedback, and please let us know if there’s anything you or your mother need in the meantim... read more
Simply wonderful place to live!
Wonderful place to live. I have a lovely 0ne bedroom apartment - 732 sq feet with stove dishwasher refrigerator. I’m just a minute from the elevator down to Laundry facilities. Bus transportation 7 am to 9 pm Monday to Saturday - Sunday 9 to 2. Made new friends easily and many activities to look forward to almost every day. Comparing my last independent living apartment to John Knox this apartment is twice the size, $500 less and housekeeping is provided plus laundry of linens.
