Olivia Place
When she was looking for an apartment, she wanted to be close to her daughter and grandsons, but not too close. She also doesn't drive, so she also looked for a community near a bank, a beauty parlor and a pharmacy. "I wanted to be within a mile of everything I needed," she said, and her home in Olivia Place is 9 miles from her family and within walking distance of almost all the services she uses.
