What Our Residents Say About Pilgrim Place

★★★★★
“I came to Pilgrim Place for community. This is the only place I know of that makes community such a high priority, and the ways we are organized maintain it. It is highly resident-driven, which creates a very active and engaged group of people who care about what’s going on in the world and do something about it.”

“Living at Pilgrim Place has provided time to explore new interests while remaining an activist for peace, justice, and inclusion. By retiring at Pilgrim Place in my 60's, I am enjoying all of the benefits of this active community in addition to the many cultural and educational events at the five nearby Claremont Colleges.”

★★★★★
“After a national search of retirement communities, we chose Pilgrim Place for several reasons. It had a demonstrated long-time history of welcoming and including LGBTQ+ singles and couples. We also liked that Pilgrim Place feels like a neighborhood within the City of Claremont, an easy walk to hiking trails, shopping and dining in Claremont Village and the Metro Link to LA. The easy walk to the Claremont Colleges campus brought access to free music, art, theater and lectures. Finally, we liked its emphasis on building community - as well as its values to make our world a better place.”
