Overall sentiment in the reviews is strongly positive, centered on an attractive, well-designed new senior living community that emphasizes intergenerational engagement and lifelong learning. Reviewers repeatedly describe Broadview Senior Living at Purchase College as a gorgeous, vibrant community with top-of-the-line finishes, excellent common spaces, and thoughtful design. Many reviewers highlighted that the facility feels fresh and modern, with amenities often mentioned by name — pool, gym, cinema, Coffee Lab — and described as clean, well-kept, and impressive in construction quality and appearance.
A dominant positive theme is the community’s connection to Purchase College. Multiple reviews praise opportunities to audit classes, mentor students, and participate in joint campus programming. That academic affiliation translates into a rich menu of learning opportunities (lectures, classes) and cultural outings, which residents describe as a unique, one-of-a-kind advantage that supports active aging and frequent new experiences. Reviewers framed this academic linkage as central to the community’s identity and appeal, noting that it fosters friendships, intergenerational relationships, and meaningful engagement.
Staff and service receive consistently high marks across the summaries. Staff are widely described as responsive, knowledgeable, kind, and accommodating; several staff members are named individually and praised for their helpfulness (Amy and Ashley in sales/entrance processes; Peter Ruiz in maintenance; the Coffee Lab staff for exceptional service). Reviewers emphasize hospitality, warmth, and genuine smiles, and they report an excellent initial move-in/reservation process with clear communications and helpful follow-up during construction. Maintenance and building care are called out positively, adding to residents’ sense of value and well-being.
Dining and programming are other strong areas: the food is called excellent, the meal plan is flexible (meal credits noted), and activities are broad and engaging — fitness classes, arts, lectures, cultural outings, and state-of-the-art activity programming. Many reviewers use terms like “fabulous,” “busy,” and “best move” to describe the social life and overall daily experience, and several specifically recommend the community highly. Couples-friendly accommodations and social scheduling convenience were also noted as important practical benefits.
Despite the strong praise, two areas of concern appear consistently and should be considered by prospective residents. First, the community is new and, for some reviewers, still under construction or reserved in advance; several reviewers noted they had a spot reserved and were awaiting availability, so expectations about move-in timing and construction progress need to be clarified. Second, while many reviewers praised staff, there are repeated reports of high staff turnover and some management instability. A subset of reviews describes a “revolving door,” managers leaving within a year, and at least one complaint about difficulty dealing with a director who was perceived as inflexible. These management and turnover issues contrast with other comments praising staff and communications, suggesting mixed experiences or variability by department or time.
In summary, Broadview Senior Living at Purchase College is portrayed as an attractive, academically integrated senior living option with excellent amenities, dining, and programming, and a warm, responsive staff culture. The continuing-care affiliation and campus connection are key differentiators that drive much of the enthusiasm. Prospective residents should be prepared for construction-related timing (if selecting during the build-out phase), review the financial commitment (entry fee plus monthly costs), and ask targeted questions about current staff stability and leadership turnover. Overall recommendation from reviewers is strong, with many describing it as a wonderful place to live, socialize, and learn — while advising due diligence around operational timelines and management continuity.
