“Everyone has heard the story of the woman that is so stunningly attractive that no one asks her out. All the men assume that she is already dating someone else or that she is too good for an average Joe like them,” explains Charlestown’s Retirement Counselor Steffany Byers.

Steffany continues, “In many ways, Charlestown and Oak Crest are a lot like that. They look expensive. The architecture, amenities, and services are incredible and many people just assume that they are too expensive for someone like themselves. Yet if they do their homework and read the Information Kit, they find that living at Charlestown or Oak Crest is as affordable as or even more affordable than sticking it out in their house.”

“In fact, Charlestown and Oak Crest are designed for the average Joe, not for the Joe millionaires,” says Oak Crest Retirement Counselor JoAnn Huebler. “Many of the 100% Refundable Entrance Deposits on our studio apartments start around $100,000 and you have access to all of the same great amenities as your neighbors who may have paid three times as much.”

Full of Surprises
The Information Kit allows you to see the dynamic lifestyle of Charlestown or Oak Crest for yourself. For instance, in the An Enviable Lifestyle section you’ll discover more than 150 things to do at Charlestown and Oak Crest—the all-season swimming pool and hot tub, woodwork & hobby shop, Fitness Center, creative arts studio, library, and more!

And yet, this full-color display of Charlestown and Oak Crest’s amenities is not the most important part of the Information Kit.

“The first thing people want to know is, ‘How much?’” says Steffany.
