Julian Woods is a great community filled with great people, a lot of fun activities and amazing food. The employees try their best to help residents feel at home and it's really nice to see residents bonding with one another creating their own friendships and getting involved in clubs and special activities. The residents really thrive being involved in this community.

Such a lovely place! My mother and sister attended the Julian Woods Grand Opening a few weeks ago and they had a great experience. The brand new building speaks for itself, the food was amazing, the staff and residents were all so happy and it’s apparent that Julian Woods Retirement Community is top notch! The Senior Living Consultant, Martha Evans is amazing and has already invited my mother to come back for a private tour and lunch. We love following their events on Facebook as well, and the residents are always having so much fun!

This community as a whole exceeds any expectations you may hold! The entire area is clean and spotless as well as welcoming for anyone who may walk in the door! As you walk in, you are greeted with open arms and the feeling of being in paradise. The dining room is the best in my opinion. Spotless and clean, great food, and overall great employees. The dining supervisor, Sonya, greets everyone and makes sure you have everything you need! The overall experience is very much worth the 5 star.

Everything we were hoping for and more. Amazing staff who are attentive to every detail, a talented chef who prepares excellent food and plenty of it, and tons of social interaction with new friends. There are fun and informative events daily. You really don’t have to leave the campus, but if you do it is conveniently located near restaurants, shopping, and cultural opportunities. A huge thumbs up!

The good things here are new, good quality apartments and excellent food. Three healthy meals a day plus 24-hour snack options, special events, and ample menu choices. Good gym equipment and the in-house office of 33-Health provide superior physical therapy at additional cost. Intelligent activities and field trips Controlled size: because the facility is locked between other developments, this one can not expand, assuring it does not become too large and impersonal. Adjacent to Julian Park, so there’s nearby green space, a pretty little lake, and a useful “lung” in an urban area. Convenient proximity to shopping, good restaurants, medical care, transportation corridors, and the airport.

It's brand new. There's no buy-in and month-month rental; leave if you don't like it with 30 days' notice. Everything is included in your rent. All utilities including cable, three meals a day and the food is delicious. Light housekeeping is done on a weekly basis. There's a fitness center, a library, a craft room, a lounge, a theater. One and two-bedroom apartments are still available There are several three-bedroom apartments but I think those are already rented. Pets are allowed though dogs are only allowed in first-floor apartments I would definitely encourage anyone to visit and see if this is the right place for you or your loved ones.

To our dear Glenna and Greg, Albany, Ellen, Martha, Blake, Sonya, David, and all of those behind-the-scene staffers - You are to be highly commended for your extraordinary efforts to make the recent Julian Woods grand opening such a delight for all of us Residents. Not only was it fabulous but it was SPECTACULAR. Without a doubt Resort Lifestyle Communities is very satisfied and most proud of its own Julian Woods. We had two sets of visitors to the grand opening: our Minister of Music at Fletcher First Baptist as well as our Sunday school teacher and his lovely wife, and a sweet, loving couple from our old stomping grounds at Ballantree Dr., Asheville. They not only enjoyed touring this beautiful facility, but the wonderful camaraderie from visitors and residents alike. They continue commenting on the beautiful festivities. Julian Woods is set to become one of the most popular retirement facilities in this area and we are very fortunate to be able to call this our home. We’ve not met a stranger here yet as both men and women are very special people who we can certainly, with abundant pride, call our new family. Thank you all for making our stay here a most rewarding and pleasant one. With much love and gratitude, Nancy & Mary

This community is both a country comfort (the beautiful trees, the birds singing ... and the casual comfortable environment ... and also, clearly a state-of-the-art environment) The residents are refreshingly engaged with life and activity .. many engaging activities. From chess to billiards ( from 8 ball to 9 ball .. singles or partners ... it's on 😊) a modest game room .. with perhaps shuffleboard in the future. A most complimentary environment for comfortable.. engaging people .. a nice spot 🌄

I am a CNA and just visited with my Client. Julian Woods is by far the most beautiful community and everyone was so kind. The apartments are huge, the food looks amazing, I loved the water pond in the lobby, and it is not more expensive than what he pays now, but a world of difference between the 2 places.

We toured Julian Woods Retirement Community and it's brand new. They've done an excellent job of providing all of the support. It's an attractive place. We didn't choose Julian Woods because it's a little further away from Hendersonville, which we wanted to be in. They have very nice 24-hour day food. We looked at two bedrooms and they were perfectly adequate. We toured with the manager and she was very cordial and we got along fine.
