Unique senior communityEscobar said the staff at Amberlin Pflugerville goes above and beyond for their residents.
“Everyone knows everyone in the office,” she said. “We know our community members by first names, and I think that that's really important to give a sense of community.”
Assistant Community Manager, Shanesha Newby, said she hopes residents feel comfortable being surrounded by people in the same phase of life they can talk and reminisce with.
“The stories you share will be appreciated and people will understand,” Newby said.
Community and amenities
Keeping true to its active adult mission, Amberlin Pflugerville offers plenty of opportunities for residents to stay active and get social.
Escobar said the community has a Lifestyle and Engagement, or L&E program, which hosts weekly social events, weekly fitness classes and programming focused on bringing people together.
Feel like getting some exercise? Residents can drop by for one of the weekly fitness classes, swim a few laps in the pool, play a game of pickleball or take their dog for a stroll on the walking trails.
All regularly scheduled activities, classes and on-site events are free and included with residents’ monthly rent. The amenities at the resort-style community are extensive and help residents live their best lives.
Some amenities include:
- pickle ball court
- bocce court
- library
- community garden with raised beds
- dog park
- craft room
- clubroom lounge and community kitchen with coffee bar and wine fridge
- nearby walking trail
- chef-inspired kitchen in each apartment
- 24-hour fitness center
- pet-friendly community
Active adult communities do not provide any food plans, transportation, or health assistance. It is simply a home to enjoy without the yard work, home repairs or required upkeep.
In fact, the community is most similar to a traditional apartment complex, but with an age restriction, Newby said.
“What I like to tell everybody is that we’re the step right before senior living,” Newby said. “We still want you to enjoy yourself, go out, go to the pool and be involved in the community.”
The facility also maintains a bright, active environment which uplifts residents.
“We have a fairly young team here which our residents love,” Escobar said. “It just feels so different from a senior home. Our main goal is to make it feel like this is an active community.”

Located at 409 E. Pflugerville Parkway, Amberlin Pflugerville is right next to shopping, dining, entertainment, and anything else residents may want.
“We’re in a very convenient area, location-wise,” Escobar said. “We have a lot of different eateries as well as a Target, Sam’s Club, H-E-B and Aldi, all within a three-minute drive.”
