First Community Village in Upper Arlington: A Place of Confidence and Comfort

Since 1963, First Community Village has provided a welcoming environment, stylish residential surroundings and a dynamic culture for retirement living on our green Upper Arlington campus.

Our suburban Columbus location affords our residents all the social and cultural benefits of proximity to a major American city without the commotion of urban life.

A spacious, modern residence with all the comforts of home. Fine food and delightful dining companions. A comprehensive offering of services and amenities. And the inner peace that comes with knowing your healthcare needs are covered for life. Here, it’s all yours.

After a lifetime of working and caring for others, you’ve earned a place where you feel safe, welcome and fully appreciated. That place is here at First Community Village in Upper Arlington.

An Exact Fit for the Size of Your Life

Between our Manor Homes, our apartment residences at The Chelsea and our exciting new addition, The Fairfax, we offer an array of beautiful and versatile housing options that are as distinctive as the fascinating folks who call them home. Some highlights:

  • Our apartment homes range from The Chelsea, which is located in the hub of the community, to our Manor Homes, which are located separately, allowing for more privacy and The Fairfax, offering spacious apartment homes in the English Country style.
  • Each independent living option is available in a variety of layouts and floor plans. For those who need a little bit of help performing daily tasks, we also have assisted living options that feature licensed nurses on-duty 24 hours a day.
  • Our Premier Plan for Independent Living in Columbus, Ohio can provide long-term financial benefits, offering reduced and reliable monthly rates.

As a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC), we also offer memory care services and hospice should they ever be required.
