Writing my own story

“When I retired I set out to write my own history, from my logs of all the trips I’ve taken over the years. I thought it would take me half an hour but I’ve ended up with a big thick book!”

Ed, former retail executive, current traveler and diarist

Strolling along quiet paths under majestic oak trees, looking out over rolling lawns to an expanse of forest ringed by mountains, it’s easy to forget you’re only minutes from the vibrant streets and renowned attractions of Los Angeles County. This is the secret of Twelve Oaks, a peaceful retreat set in 4.5 park-like acres in the scenic La Crescenta Valley.

Overlooked by mountains, with breathtaking vistas of the nearby Angeles National Forest, Twelve Oaks is a unique senior community whose warm, family-style ambience is geared to independent spirits—while offering a bit of extra assistance if and when you need it.

The best of both worlds

Twelve Oaks is a friendly, down-to-earth community where the emphasis is on savoring simple pleasures in a beautiful natural setting. In other words, we’re not about chandeliers and marble floors. But if your idea of retirement life is having a private park right outside your door—with a whole range of interesting activities to match your curiosity—easy access to some of the finest cultural, dining and shopping venues anywhere—plus a bit of extra help with your everyday personal needs, today or down the road—then Twelve Oaks could be just the place for you.

Come and take a stroll under the oaks, and you’ll see what makes this community so special—and why our residents love being here.
