For two decades, it has been a goal of the University of Washington Retirement Association to create a congenial, cultivated residential environment where UW retirees and others could live and enjoy stimulating pursuits and activities. Welcome to University House, Wallingford, developed in collaboration with the UWRA.

There are many satisfactions to a university career. Important achievements. Contributions to society. The world of ideas. Exchange with lively, stimulating people. Travel. Understandably, those retired from university work often stay quite connected to the campus and to former colleagues.

The University House, Wallingford, an extraordinary residential community, further supports a vibrant, involved way of life.

The concept of "lifelong learning and growth" has influenced architectural planning as well as recreational and educational program development. Numerous studies on healthy aging show that individuals who continue to build new masteries and explore new experiences report a fuller enjoyment of life and, quite often, an enhanced level of physical and emotional well being.

Retirement community living offers a refreshing blend of a private apartment home with day-to-day maintenance happily handled by others. If you travel, you can leave knowing that your home is safe. If you entertain, it's nice to know others will do the work while you enjoy your guests.

University House apartments include full kitchens, wall-to-wall carpeting, window coverings, cable television, with fireplaces, washers and dryers in some units. Many University House apartments have courtyard garden or city skyline views, a magnificent vista day or night.

We also offer an elegant dining room with superb cuisine, beauty salon, art gallery, utility and maintenance services, month-to-month rentals, housekeeping and linen service, 24-hour staff and resident call system, scheduled group transportation to UW and events, computer center, fitness center, multimedia auditorium, resident conservatory and garden areas, Health & Wellness Center, putting green, wood shop, and an arts and crafts studio.

Benefits of Our Assisted Living Program
