FAQ

Everyone's talking about Brickstone. Perhaps you've heard some of the news describing Rochester's newest offering for seniors, but would like to know more about this unique lifestyle choice. Here is some information you may find helpful as you consider making Brickstone your next home.

What is Brickstone?

Brickstone is a new contemporary senior living option that is distinctly different from others in Rochester. Designed on the principles of new urbanism, Brickstone invites you to embrace a lifestyle that blends the best of urban and suburban living. Brickstone offers a natural connectedness for today's active senior that is often missing from "gated" communities. Plans for Brickstone's 30 acres include housing choices with a la carte services, a pedestrian network surrounded by the beauty of wetlands and ponds, and the convenience of on-site retailers. Brickstone's Village Square featuring shops, restaurants and meeting spaces open to the greater community, will become a vital hub of activity, fostering relationships amongst residents and the surrounding neighborhood.

How many residences will it include?

When completed, Brickstone will offer 102 choices of one and two story living options — 40 apartments, 9 townhomes and 53 bungalows. Brickstone's interiors include upscale design features and finishes, which are often extras in other living communities.

What "green" initiatives are in place at Brickstone?

We have considered environmental measures throughout the design and development process for Brickstone. We will implement sustainable design and Energy Star features where possible.

When will it be ready?

We hope to begin construction in the spring of 2011.

How was it named?

The Town of Brighton, in which Brickstone will be located, once had a vibrant brick making industry. The name was selected with input from potential and current St. John's residents, staff and members of the Brighton community.

How is Brickstone affiliated with St. John's?

As part of a St. John's community, residents of Brickstone will have access to a continuum of quality health care services. St. John's offers a vibrant, interactive community that believes in growing and living meaningful relationships and values life at each stage of the journey.
