Healthy
The trails and BODY Studio, walkable and bike-friendly features, and access to quality nutrition invite Sonders residents to stay active and live healthfully.
Sonders is proud to be the nation’s first
Pre-Certified Lifelong Community.
Sonders Fort Collins is honored to receive its pre-certification as a Lifelong Community. From vision to fruition, Sonders integrates community design features that contribute to a healthy, active, sustainable and accessible lifestyle that meet certification standards as a Lifelong Community.
Developed by the Institute for the Built Environment (IBE) at Colorado State University, the Lifelong Community Certification uses criteria from evidence-based best practices based on social and environmental factors that support a healthy culture of aging for all residents.
Community planning and design at Sonders has been done in collaboration with the IBE to offer parks, trails, sustainability center, learning center, and community gardens that are instrumental in an active, social and healthful lifestyle.
This achievement means a lot to us at Sonders Fort Collins. We invite you to explore how this Lifelong Community can benefit you.
“The future of community design is being implemented today at Sonders. This is truly a visionary community that is going above and beyond standard practices to create a place where people of all ages and abilities can live healthy, meaningful, and engaged lives. We’re honored that our institute has had the opportunity to collaborate with the Sonders team to develop and implement the world’s first Lifelong Communities Pre-certification and look forward to a continued beneficial partnership between CSU and Sonders.”
