One of our best amenities at Taylor Glen is our top-notch location that gives residents prime access to the best shopping, dining, and entertainment throughout the delightful city of Concord. Because our Life Plan Community is located halfway between North Carolina’s beaches and mountains, residents can have the best of both worlds while enjoying all the perks Concord has to offer, including nearby golf courses and tennis courts, and a host of other attractions. Plus, Charlotte is only 30 minutes away.
Although our on-site amenities are designed to provide enriched independent living with everything residents need right at their doorstep, it’s always nice to explore the surrounding community for a fun night out with friends, travel to see loved ones, enjoy some fresh air at an outdoor event, and more.
When you call Taylor Glen home, it’s an opportunity to live your best life at a retirement community designed for exceptional senior living in a city bustling with fun things to do.
Golf Courses
Legendary golfer Greg Norman said, “Happiness is a long walk with a putter.” When the weather is stellar, how about a round of happiness with friends? Concord has a number of courses for you to enjoy, including the Rocky River Golf Club designed by Dan Maples that offers 18 holes, a practice facility, a clubhouse, and a restaurant. If you’re looking to join a private club, check out the Cabarrus Country Club, established in 1927 — a 6,986-yard, par-72 championship course.
Botanical Garden
Whether you have lived in the city all your life or moved here to call Taylor Glen home, have you ever stopped to smell the roses at the botanical gardens on the University of North Carolina at Charlotte campus? With beautiful acres devoted to annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, and more, you’re sure to enjoy a colorful, peaceful stroll while admiring nature’s best. Make sure to explore all the horticultural goodness in dedicated locations within the Susie Harwood Garden and the Van Landingham Glen.
Catch a Flight
Have some family to visit or just want to get away? Having flight transportation close by is a fantastic perk! With the Charlotte Douglas International Airport only being a 30-minute drive from Taylor Glen, it’s the in-and-out access you want for convenient travel adventures. Some of the major airlines flying out of CLT include Air Canada, American Airlines, Delta, Southwest, and United Airlines (check cltairport.com to view more).
