There’s something magical about fresh starts. Whether it’s a new book, a new adventure or a new home, the promise of “new” brings excitement and possibility. At Fountaingate Gardens in Commack, New York, the two-bedroom Birch apartment represents more than just a new living space—it’s your gateway to an elevated lifestyle designed specifically for active adults seeking their next chapter.
The Birch: Thoughtfully Designed for Modern Living
Step into the Birch and you’re immediately struck by its open, airy layout. At 1,081 square feet, this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment maximizes every inch of space with intelligent design and contemporary appeal. The open floor plan creates beautiful sight lines that flow seamlessly from the front entrance, through the kitchen and into the combined living and dining areas—a design that makes the space feel both spacious and intimately connected.
A Kitchen Made for Connection
The heart of the Birch is its thoughtfully designed kitchen, perfect for those who love to entertain. The peninsula layout and open concept ensure you’re never isolated from the action—whether you’re preparing a casual breakfast or hosting friends for drinks, you’ll remain engaged with everything happening in the living area. High-quality cabinetry and contemporary appliances make cooking both efficient and enjoyable.
Privacy and Comfort in the Primary Suite
When it’s time to unwind, the primary bedroom offers a peaceful retreat. The thoughtful layout places the walk-in closet strategically between the bedroom and full bathroom, creating an efficient morning routine where everything you need is within easy reach. And with this bathroom just off the primary bedroom, it creates the feel of an ensuite but keeps the flexibility of a second bathroom that is accessible to guests, protecting the privacy of your personal space.
Versatility in the Second Bedroom
The second bedroom is where the Birch truly shines in terms of adaptability. Located on the opposite side of the apartment from the master suite, this space offers privacy and flexibility. Will it be a welcoming guest room for visiting family? A quiet library for morning reading? A creative craft room where hobbies come to life? With its own walk-in closet and ample space, it could easily serve multiple purposes, perhaps combining a pull-out sofa for occasional guests with a writing desk for your next creative project. The second bathroom is also on this side of the apartment, adding additional flexibility and options when planning the space.
Beyond Your Front Door: The Fountaingate Gardens Lifestyle
While the Birch apartment itself offers comfort and style, it’s the broader Fountaingate Gardens community that truly sets this living option apart. As a vibrant Life Plan Community in the heart of Long Island, members enjoy access to:
• State-of-the-art clubhouse with fitness center, game room, and library

Is the Birch Perfect for Your Next Chapter?
Peggy and Bill Schall moved into their Birch apartment in 2022, and could not be happier with their choice. “I love the apartment layout,” says Peggy, especially happy with the airy feeling created by the high ceilings. “There are windows everywhere, so every room is bathed in natural light, and I feel like I’m surrounded by nature even when I’m indoors,” she said.
Bill likes how the sprawling layout of the Birch allows for privacy and easy entertaining. “With the second bedroom on the opposite side of the apartment from the primary, it’s easy to host overnight guests,” he said. “We recently had a guest stay for 10 days, and it was very comfortable.”
Best of all, both Peggy and Bill say that choosing the Birch meant they were able to set aside the daily hassles of home ownership and instead invest in their own well-being and happiness. “By becoming a member at Fountaingate Gardens, you not only gain a maintenance-free lifestyle in a beautiful, new apartment, but also you have an opportunity to meet like-minded individuals and enjoy your days,” Peggy says. “It’s wonderful.”
