Why Floor Plans Matter: Choose the Perfect Layout
April 18, 2025
Choosing a new home in a senior living community is one of life’s most meaningful decisions. It's about more than just square feet or architectural design—it’s about choosing a lifestyle, a sense of belonging, and a space that nurtures comfort, independence, and joy. At The Westerly Pewaukee, we understand the importance of selecting the right layout. That’s why our thoughtfully designed independent living floor plans are built to support your daily routines, reflect your personal style, and grow with your needs—all within a warm and welcoming community.
Whether you’re downsizing, seeking maintenance free living, or simply looking to embrace a more fulfilling life with less worry and more connection, choosing the right floor plan is essential. Let’s explore why layout matters so much—and how The Westerly Pewaukee can help you find the perfect fit.
What Makes Independent Living Floor Plans So Important?
The right layout isn't just about how many rooms you have; it's about how your space flows, how it feels, and how it fits your life. At The Westerly Pewaukee, we offer a variety of independent living floor plans designed to match different lifestyles and preferences. From cozy one bedroom apartments to spacious two bedroom residences, each apartment has its own unique character, but all of them are built to make your day-to-day life easier and more enjoyable.
For many residents, having the right layout means waking up in a place that feels just right—with natural light streaming through the windows, your favorite armchair in the perfect corner, and enough room to host a friend for coffee or enjoy a quiet moment alone. It also means having space that works in harmony with services like housekeeping and optional chef-prepared meals, helping you enjoy each day with ease and comfort. It’s more than a floor plan. It’s a lifestyle choice.
One Bedroom and Two Bedroom Options
No two lives are the same, which is why our one- and two bedroom apartments offer such variety. Whether you’re looking for a serene retreat or more space for guests and hobbies, we have an option that feels like home.
Our one bedroom residences offer just the right amount of space for someone who values simplicity and efficiency without sacrificing comfort. With full kitchens, inviting living areas, and in-unit washer and dryers, these apartments provide privacy and independence in a beautifully compact form.
Our two bedroom homes offer more room to breathe—perfect for couples, those who want a guest room, or someone looking to create a home office, art studio, or cozy, private den. These layouts offer enhanced versatility while still maintaining the ease and warmth of a maintenance-free lifestyle.
Beyond the Basics: Dens, Dining Rooms, and Bonus Spaces
What sets The Westerly Pewaukee apart is the thoughtful inclusion of flexible spaces in some of our independent living apartments. Selected layouts include dens and separate dining rooms, giving you the opportunity to customize your new home to reflect your life and personality.
You might use a den as a reading nook, creative space, or even a small home office. Dining rooms can become places for family dinners or card games with friends. These are not just extra rooms—they’re opportunities to shape your space into a true home.
The Little Things That Make a Big Difference
We know that comfort is found in the details. Each of our independent living floor plan options comes with carefully chosen features designed for convenience, safety, and peace of mind. All apartments include:
Stainless steel dishwasher, refrigerator, and kitchens with modern finishes
In-unit washer and dryer for ease and independence
White faux wooden blinds for a touch of elegance and privacy
Individually controlled heating and air for personalized comfort
Spacious closets and thoughtful storage solutions
These aren’t just amenities; they’re the elements that support a complete and independent lifestyle.
Style Meets Security
When selecting a senior living residence, safety and accessibility are often at the forefront of the decision-making process. Our independent living floor plans are created with security and ease-of-access in mind. From wider doorways and smooth transitions between rooms to available safety call pendants and daily wellness checks, every detail is tailored to support your comfort and security.
Your home should support you—not challenge you. At The Westerly Pewaukee, we believe you should be able to enjoy each day knowing your home is both beautiful and functional.
Community Life Starts at Home
Every floor plan is a doorway to deeper connection. When you move into The Westerly, you're not just getting a beautiful apartment—you're stepping into a vibrant, engaging community full of life and opportunity. Whether you’re relaxing on your own in your private apartment, attending community events with neighbors, or joining in activities designed to enrich and inspire, the layout of your home plays an important role in how you experience daily life.
Open-concept spaces make it easier to entertain and interact. When you love where you live, you open the door to a more fulfilling life.
Personalization with Purpose
No two people are alike—and your apartment should reflect who you are. Our floor plans come in a variety of styles, ranging from cozy retreats to larger, open-concept spaces. With flexible layouts that include features like dens and separate dining areas, you’ll have plenty of options to explore, enlarge, and personalize to fit your lifestyle.
Your space should reflect your story. Whether you bring cherished furniture, beloved artwork, or meaningful heirlooms, we want every person to feel at home from day one.
What About Maintenance?
One of the joys of maintenance free living is just that—freedom. No more worrying about repairs, lawn care, or snow removal. At The Westerly Pewaukee, your monthly fee includes a daily continental breakfast, monthly light housekeeping, daily wellness check-ins, utilities, and access to engaging amenities; all designed to support a simpler, more connected way of living.
You can finally spend your days doing what you love; not checking off a to-do list.
View the Floorplans and Picture Your Life
We encourage future residents to view our available floorplans, walk through the space, and imagine how it could become their home. Think about where your favorite chair would go, how your art would look on the walls, and what it would feel like to wake up in a space that was truly your own.
Our team is here to guide you every step of the way—helping you learn more, explore different options, and even schedule a personalized tour to see the spaces in person.
