There’s something special about being the first person to call an apartment home.

The kitchen hasn’t hosted a Sunday dinner yet.

The living room hasn’t heard your favorite music.

Your favorite chair hasn’t found its spot beside the window.

The neighbors haven’t created their traditions yet.

At Ardea Senior Apartments, our brand-new studio and one-bedroom apartment homes are ready for residents to bring the part we can’t build: personality.

Modern stainless-steel appliances, open-concept layouts, spacious closets and oversized windows create the backdrop.

What happens next is up to you.

If you were moving into a brand-new apartment tomorrow, what is the FIRST thing you would do to make it feel like home?

We’d love to hear your answer.

Income restrictions apply. Contact our leasing team to explore available homes at Ardea.

Some neighborhood favorites were here long before we were.

Ardea may be new to Totem Lake, but Café Veloce has been serving the Kirkland community since 1992. This family-owned Italian restaurant is known for pasta, pizza, classic Italian comfort food, and a unique vintage Italian racing-inspired atmosphere.

And talk about convenient. It’s just minutes from Ardea Senior Apartments, making it an easy choice for lunch with a neighbor or dinner with family.

We love having longtime local businesses like Café Veloce in our new neighborhood.

Ardea residents and Kirkland locals, help us out: What should a first-time visitor order?

Sometimes the apartment search isn’t just your decision.

Your son wants to know you’ll be comfortable.

Your daughter wants to know help is available if something in your home needs attention.

You want to know you’ll still have your independence.

Ardea Senior Apartments brings those priorities together in a brand-new 62+ community.

Our community includes elevators, onsite management and maintenance, 24/7 emergency maintenance, an indoor mail center and welcoming common areas. And being in Totem Lake keeps shopping, dining, healthcare and public transportation close to home.

The goal isn’t to change how you live.

It’s to give you a comfortable place to keep living life your way.

Every community eventually has “the spot.”

The chair where you always sit.

The table where a quick hello turns into an hour-long conversation.

The outdoor seat where you bring your morning coffee.

At Ardea Senior Apartments, our community lounge, outdoor lounge, landscaped grounds and welcoming gathering areas were created to give residents places to do more than simply pass through.

Because sometimes the best amenity isn’t something you use.

It’s somewhere you connect.

We have a question for our future residents: Which sounds more like you?

Morning coffee outside or an afternoon conversation in the lounge?

There’s something exciting about being among the first to call a brand-new community home.

At Ardea Senior Apartments, everything is new, but the community we’re creating will come from the people who live here.

Our 62+ Kirkland community offers studio and one-bedroom apartment homes with modern features, along with welcoming spaces where neighbors can gather, relax and get to know one another.

And with our location in Totem Lake, you can stay close to shopping, dining, healthcare and the places that are already part of your routine.

If you’ve been thinking about making a move, come see what’s new in the neighborhood.

We’re new to the neighborhood, too.

Ardea Senior Apartments is a brand-new 62+ community in Totem Lake, and while everything inside may be new, what we’re most excited about is the community that will grow here.

New neighbors meeting for the first time. Conversations in the community lounge. Morning walks outside. Someone discovering their favorite nearby coffee shop. Friendships that haven’t even started yet.

That’s the exciting thing about a brand-new community. Our residents aren’t simply moving into Ardea. They’re helping shape what living here will become.

So let’s start with an introduction.

Kirkland residents, what is ONE place in the area every new neighbor should know about?

Restaurants, parks, coffee shops and hidden gems are all welcome. Leave your recommendation below.

Resident Spotlight: Richard's Weekend Tradition.

"Every Saturday morning, you'll usually find me at DERU Market.
DERUmarket

A neighbor recommended it shortly after I moved into Ardea, and I'm so glad they did. The food is always fresh, the staff are welcoming, and it's one of those places where you can enjoy a great meal without feeling rushed. I usually bring a friend, enjoy breakfast, and then take a walk around downtown Kirkland.

It's become one of my favorite traditions."

Sometimes the best local treasures are shared by your neighbors.

DERU Market
723 9th Avenue
Kirkland, WA 98033

Approximately 15 minutes from Ardea Senior Apartments. Known locally for its farm-to-table menu and welcoming atmosphere.

Community is better when you have people to enjoy it with! 💕🎉

Our latest resident event was a full house, filled with great food, plenty of laughs, and even better company. Resident events are just one of the ways we create opportunities to connect, have fun, and enjoy time together!

We love seeing our community come together, and judging by this turnout, our residents do too! 😊
