Welcome to Pleasant View, Where Country Living Comes with a Plan for Life.

Hometown living with peace of mind at Pleasant View, Ottawa’s only Life Plan Community.

Experience the inviting hometown spirit that thrives at Pleasant View, the one and only small (but quite mighty!) Life Plan Community in Ottawa, Illinois. The first thing you’ll notice is our freestanding duplex homes, some with garages that all face a gorgeous park and resident-maintained garden. We like to say we offer the best of both worlds, perfect for independent spirits: privacy and community connection. Best of all, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes with a full continuum of care that’s rooted in honest Midwestern values which are core to our community culture.

Please check out our many different living options.
