Visualize Your Perfect Day at Pleasant View.

Life Plan Living with Plenty of Space in Ottawa, IL.

Imagine waking up in a home sized just for you with plenty of room to roam, just outside your door. Take in the crisp morning air as you stroll through the on-campus park and gazebo. Stop and sit for a spell at the lush butterfly garden. Meet your friend for a cozy breakfast and coffee on the front patio, followed by a jaunt downtown for some essentials. Work in the garden all afternoon then venture into the community space to visit with friends. In the evening, have your neighbors over for dinner in your standalone duplex home or in the restaurant-style dining room. Nestled in the tranquility of the country, yet just minutes from downtown, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—and peace of mind right here, all in one place.

Let’s connect.

We look forward to meeting you! Call (815) 665-5355 or use the form to schedule a tour or RSVP to an event.
