Unique senior communityWells said many Solea Lewisville residents are coming from a home where children have grown up and moved on, and as grandparents, they just get a visit now and again.
“I think the fellowship that happens in our community, really brings those residents that have lived alone for a while back to life,” she said. “They're able to share their stories and their thoughts and make connections—they were tired of being lonely.”
For many Solea Lewisville residents, having that community means they're willing to compromise on having the space of a full-size home and move to a one- or two-bedroom spacious apartment, she said.
“Living here gives them that chance to come out of their apartment, visit with other people and make new friends and connections,” Wells said.
Community and amenities
As an active adult community, Solea Lewisville offers plenty of opportunities for residents to stay fit and get social.
All regularly scheduled activities, classes and on-site events are included with residents’ monthly rent. The amenities at the resort-style community are extensive and help residents live their best lives.
Some amenities include:
- pickle ball court
- bocce ball court
- library
- community garden with raised beds
- dog park
- craft room
- clubroom lounge and community kitchen with coffee bar and wine fridge
- chef-inspired kitchen in each apartment
- 24-hour fitness center
- pet-friendly community
For many residents, the freedom that comes with active adult living means they’re able to focus on themselves, Wells said.
“Maybe they haven't had time to take care of themselves because they've been taking care of their children or their grandchildren, or maybe work was consuming them and they didn't have time to focus on [themselves],” Wells said. “Now, it can be all about them, what they want to do and how they want to feel.”

To qualify for residency at Solea Lewisville, guests must be screened through a background and consumer credit check. In addition, all applicants per home must make 2.5 times the monthly rent in gross income and be 55 years of age or above.
“For a lot of our seniors, I know that their income is a little restricted,” Wells said. “But how we can help them best is by looking at their savings account and other retirement [money] they have saved.”
