"The first thing you have to ask yourself is this: Do I want to live in a typical 55+ community pay rent and abide by rules from corporate? OR, a cooperative community where you have ownership, control and a say in all matters. If that’s you, then I recommend The Suites of Bettendorf. Enjoy maintenance-free living, plenty of amenities, and a secure investment."

"For somebody who is interested in The Suites, I would really recommend they look at the bottom line, the total package, and that’s what makes it so affordable and so appealing. It takes so much pressure off your plate so you can really enjoy your years, get out and do things, and have spontaneity again.

Do some research on what a cooperative is – it’s worth it!"

"The Estates of Pella has been a great choice for us. The homes and clubhouse amenities provide a sort of "vacation at home" atmosphere, and the other residents have been great to get to know. As we are new to Pella, having a community that we can call our own is important. Maintenance-free living also gives us the flexibility to travel without worry. We are very happy to be members of the Estates of Pella!"

"We are snowbirds that wanted to simplify and downsize our northern home.  We found Vintage Estates to be the perfect solution.  The zero maintenance, while-away home watch, indoor pickleball court, nearby golf, location in Marion County and the sense of community were each big factors in our decision."

"We like the location of The Estates of Pella as it sits just on the edge of town in beautiful Bos Landen, surrounded by mature trees and nature.  Living here has freed up our time to do the things we enjoy as we haven’t worried once about outside maintenance since we moved in, as it is all taken care of. If we need any home maintenance done, we simply call our community manager, Jami. Life is Good at The Estates of Pella!"
