What this means for your family

Academy University Hill is highly regarded for its aesthetic appeal and professional staff, making it a strong candidate for those prioritizing a luxury-style environment. Because the majority of reviews are from visitors rather than long-term residents or their families, we recommend scheduling a tour during a mealtime to personally evaluate the daily living experience and staff-to-resident interactions.

Key Review Excerpts

Certainly the nicest retirement community I have ever visited. I went with my parents, who are considering a move to Academy, and was HUGELY impressed by the setting under the foothills in a serene neighborhood, the lovely built environment across the city block it occupies, the restaurant (which is really commendable), the common areas, and the super-welcoming, highly professional staff, all of whom made our visit feel more like a luxury retreat than others we have seen.

A beautifully appointed, intimate, boutique retirement community close to the best of everything Boulder has to offer. A happy staff with low turn-over as well!
