What Makes a Residence Feel Like Home? Inside the Senior Living Apartments at Village on the Green

Morning begins with light filtering into the Florida room, the doors open just enough to let in the breeze. The kitchen is already in use—coffee brewing at the island, the day unfolding without hurry. Later, the living space shifts easily from quiet reading to conversation, then back again. At Village on the Green, residences are designed around days that feel balanced, flexible, and distinctly your own.

Located in Longwood, just north of Orlando, the community pairs refined apartment and villa living with a setting that encourages time outdoors, social connection, and personal routine. Homes here don’t dictate how you live—they support it, whether that means entertaining often, spending time outside, or enjoying quiet, well-appointed spaces that feel settled from the start.

A Distinguished Place to Call Home, Designed for How You Want to Live

Village on the Green approaches residential living as a lifestyle decision, not a one-size-fits-all solution. Residences vary widely in layout, scale, and character, allowing you to select a home that aligns with your daily routines and long-standing preferences.

Across apartments and villas, features elevate everyday living: open floor plans, modern appliances, upscale finishes, generous closets, and signature Florida rooms that bring the outdoors into daily life. Many residences also include private patios, screened porches, or garages—details that reinforce the sense of living in a private home rather than a typical apartment. Weekly housekeeping and maintenance services remove routine demands, freeing time for pursuits both inside the community and beyond it.

One-Bedroom Residences: Easy Living With Florida Style

One-bedroom residences at Village on the Green are designed for residents who value thoughtful proportions and natural light, paired with flexible living spaces that support everyday comfort.

Standout One-Bedroom Residences

The Egret offers an interconnected living and dining area that flows directly into a sun-filled Florida room, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living. A private bedroom suite includes a full bath, a walk-in closet, and convenient laundry access.

In the Curlew, an open living space connects to an ideally sized kitchen and a welcoming Florida room, while additional storage and a spacious bathroom support daily ease. These layouts strike a balance between openness and privacy, making them well-suited for both quiet routines and hosting visitors.

From Layout to Lifestyle 

In one-bedroom residences, the day often begins at home and expands outward. Florida rooms and patios become regular morning spaces, while open kitchens support simple breakfasts or casual lunches before heading out. Residents frequently step from their apartments to meet friends at The Heron Club or Palm Court for meals, or spend time walking the landscaped paths that wind through the former golf course setting.

Two-Bedroom Residences: Space to Host and Adapt

Two-bedroom residences introduce added flexibility for hosting, shared living, or maintaining separate spaces for work and leisure. These layouts appeal to residents who appreciate room to adapt without excess.

Standout Two-Bedroom Residences

The Heron features a large living and dining area connected to an expansive Florida room accessible from multiple spaces, with two bedrooms offering separate baths for added privacy. The Crane places bedrooms on opposite sides of the main living area, creating dual private retreats anchored by a light-filled central space.

For those seeking even more outdoor connection, the Sabal offers two Florida rooms and a private main bedroom suite with views, while the Windmill expands square footage further with generous closets and a large Florida room that draws in natural light throughout the day.

From Layout to Lifestyle 

Two-bedroom residences often become social hubs. Dining tables accommodate shared meals before heading out to Sabal Palm for chef-prepared dinners, while Florida rooms and screened porches extend gatherings beyond the interior. Guest bedrooms stay ready for visiting family, without disrupting everyday routines.

During the week, residents move easily between home and community amenities—fitness classes in the wellness center, time at the heated pool or putting green, afternoons in the art studio or library. The additional space within these residences allows daily life to remain flexible, whether hosting overnight guests or enjoying quieter evenings at home.

Expansive Residences and Villas: Private Home Living Within a Community

For residents drawn to larger footprints and added privacy, Village on the Green offers expansive apartments and villas that provide the scale of a private home paired with community access.

From Layout to Lifestyle

In larger residences and villas, daily life takes on a residential rhythm that blends privacy with connection. Garages simplify errands and outings. Screened porches and patios become favored spots for morning coffee or evening conversation. Storage accommodates long-held belongings, allowing homes to feel established rather than transitional.

Amenities That Support How You Want to Spend Your Time

Life at Village on the Green extends well beyond your front door. Community amenities are designed to complement residential living, offering opportunities for connection, movement, and enjoyment throughout the day.

Residents gather for chef-prepared meals, participate in fitness and wellness programming, attend lectures and social events, or spend time outdoors along walking paths and landscaped grounds. The setting supports both an active social calendar and quieter personal routines, allowing each resident to define their own pace.

Choosing a Residence That Reflects Your Lifestyle

The right residence supports how you live today while allowing room to adapt tomorrow. At Village on the Green, the range of available floor plans makes it possible to prioritize what matters most—whether that’s outdoor space, room to host, or the privacy of a villa-style home.
