Jenner’s Pond, located in Chester County, Pennsylvania, has unveiled a new line of spacious cottages aimed at today’s active seniors. Designed to accommodate the preferences of older adults who seek both independence and community, these homes provide an attractive alternative for those considering downsizing or relocating to a long-term residence.
With sizes reaching up to 3,600 square feet, the cottages are part of a 62+ Life Plan Community that emphasizes flexibility and evolving needs. Residents benefit from a maintenance-free lifestyle, which includes home repairs, landscaping, and security. This allows seniors to focus on enjoying their lives while still having the privacy of a standalone home.
Community Features and Activities
The Jenner’s Pond community spans 88 acres and features a variety of amenities designed for active living. Residents can choose from modern one- or two-bedroom apartments or the newly designed cottages. The campus is equipped with numerous walking paths, nature trails, and scenic ponds, all within a pet-friendly environment.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the easy access to local attractions such as the Brandywine Valley golf courses, the renowned Longwood Gardens, and gourmet dining options in Kennett Square. Additionally, the campus is adjacent to a full-service YMCA, offering swimming and fitness classes, further promoting an active lifestyle.
According to Brandon Logsdon, executive director at Jenner’s Pond, social interaction is a key priority for residents. The community boasts over 30 resident-led groups and numerous opportunities for engagement. Residents frequently gather for happy hours at the resident-run Morrie’s Pub, participate in live musical performances, and enjoy trivia nights.
Tour and Design Options
Tours of the spacious housing options, including the newly designed cottages, are currently available. Many of these homes come equipped with attached garages, gardening space, and patios, with some featuring basements. Residents have the flexibility to choose from fully styled models or a blank canvas ready for personal design touches.
Logsdon describes the community as a blend of retired and still-working residents who seek the freedom that a “lock-and-go” lifestyle affords. As a Life Plan Community, Jenner’s Pond also provides long-term peace of mind, offering preferred access to assisted living, short-term rehabilitation, skilled nursing, or memory care as needs change over time.
The community is set to host an event titled “Jenner’s Pond: Small Bites. Big Space,” on February 26, 2026, from 16:00 to 18:00. Attendees will have the opportunity to sip wine and sample appetizers while exploring the beautifully designed cottages and available design options.
