More Space to Live Your Way: Two-Bedroom Residences

How Verena at Hilliard Residents Use Their Second Bedroom

Choosing the right apartment is an important part of downsizing, especially for those moving from a long-time home for the first time. At Verena at Hilliard, many residents discover that a two-bedroom residence offers the space they’re used to, without the upkeep that comes with homeownership.

An extra bedroom offers the flexibility to keep the things that matter most, whether that includes hobbies, seasonal belongings, or cherished furniture. When combined with the convenience of an on-site garage, a two-bedroom residence supports an active, independent lifestyle without the responsibilities of home maintenance.

We’ve seen many residents creatively reimagine their second bedroom to support how they live today. Below are some of the most popular ways residents have transformed their extra space into something personal, practical, and uniquely their own.
