The Watermark at Almaden is a four-story, 200-unit senior living community designed to offer both independence and care within a vibrant, residential setting. Located adjacent to open space and the Guadalupe Riverway, the project takes advantage of expansive views and direct connections to nature, creating opportunities for residents to stay active, engaged, and connected to the outdoors.
Licensed as a Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE), the community supports a range of living options, including assisted living and a secure 24-unit memory care neighborhood. A rich mix of amenities, including restaurant-style dining, a bistro café, theater, salon and spa, golf simulator, library, and multiple activity spaces, supports daily life and encourages social interaction. Thoughtful planning ensures accessibility throughout, with non-combustible construction allowing full access for non-ambulatory residents across all levels.
Indoor and outdoor spaces are seamlessly connected to enhance the resident experience. A skylounge bar and gathering spaces offer elevated views and social opportunities, while outdoor amenities, including a pool and spa, outdoor café, landscaped courtyards, and a dog park, encourage relaxation and activity. Subterranean parking preserves the pedestrian-focused environment above, reinforcing a community that is both highly functional and deeply attuned to quality of life.
