About The Estates

Gloria Dei Estates is a wonderful over 55 Independent Living Community described by our residents as 'just like home - only better.' Located in the Fox Chase area of Northeast Philadelphia, The Estates offers the combination of country charm and city convenience. With a beautifully landscaped patio and picnic area complete with gazebo and fountain to create a truly relaxed setting, it's hard to believe you're so close to public transportation. Come to movie night in our stadium seating movie theater, socialize in our coffee shop, work out in our fitness room or participate in any of our full calendar of activities - you can be as active as you like or as private as you like. Perfect for lazy days reading a book in our libraries, or spending time with friends in open and inviting social spaces, you will never feel alone at The Estates! Take our shuttle bus to the supermarket, Farmers Market or excursions to places like Peddler's Village, Longwood Gardens, and so much more! The Estates offers all the comforts of home - without the worries. No maintenance fees, taxes or lawn or snow removal costs, with 24/7 monitored safety pull cords in our secured building. As part of Gloria Dei Communities, a not-for-profit organization, the driving mission for The Estates is to offer quality, affordable community living with an abundance of opportunities to find meaning and fulfillment for our residents. With no hidden fees, and an all inclusive monthly fee that covers all utilities (except telephone), reserved parking, extra storage, and all the amenities - The Estates is very affordable. And you can feel secure that The Estates is a Progressive Care Community which gives access to the same level of care as Continuing Care Communities (CCRC) -without the contract, expense or commitment.
