Welcome to Leland House!
Welcome to Leland House, our newest 2Life Communities property in the heart of the dynamic city of Waltham. Next door to the activity-driven William F. Stanley Senior Center, Leland House is perfectly located for access to a broad range of retail and transit options. This beautiful three-story building offers an inclusive, diverse, and supportive community where all are welcome and encouraged to participate in 2Life’s rich array of programs and services.
When you step inside Leland House, you will find beautifully maintained common spaces formed into 2Life’s unique Village Center. Lobby and reception area open onto multipurpose rooms such as lounges, library, game room, dining area, classroom, wellness room, and fitness areas — all perfect for creating community. Leland House even has a “grab and go” convenience station, so you can get the small items that make your day easier.
This is not your typical affordable housing community. You will sense the comfort, the genuine bond between residents and staff built on mutual respect, understanding, and friendship. This is a warm, joyful community for adults age 62 + that shines with energy and purpose
