From the Community

Situated on a 150-acre nature preserve with ponds, yet close to shopping, dining, and museums, Holiday Emerald Pond is a welcoming community offering an independent lifestyle and all-inclusive amenities. Landscaped grounds inspire outdoor gatherings, and your spacious apartment is steps away from daily social events shared with your neighbors. Discover connection, freedom, and comfort – with a friendly face always nearby – at Holiday Emerald Pond.
