Lasell Village

Lasell Village is a senior life plan community located on the campus of Lasell University.

Lasell Village
A passion for living, learning, and laughter

Lasell Village, an award winning senior housing community, invites you to think of retirement in a whole new way -- with an emphasis on active, intellectually enriched living. The Village combines the security of a continuing care retirement community with the cultural, social, and recreational opportunities

of lifelong learning. Designed on the scale of a small New England neighborhood, Lasell Village is located on a beautifully landscaped 13-acre site on the campus of Lasell University in Newton, Massachusetts, a suburban community 10 miles west of Boston. At the Village center is the clock-towered Town Hall building, surrounded by fifteen residential buildings all connected by enclosed walkways. The Town Hall provides a full range of amenities from personal banking to sophisticated dining, while each residential building includes at least one common space dedicated to continued learning and physical fitness. Life at Lasell Village reflects the interests and imagination of Village residents. A focus on living and learning is the defining characteristic of Lasell Village, and one that makes it unique among retirement communities. Although it is one of a growing number of college-affiliated retirement communities, it is the first to feature a formal, individualized and required continuing education program for residents. The presiding philosophy of education at Lasell Village is that learning is not a chore or task, or even a specified activity. Rather, it is a way of being -- an approach to life in which we pursue interests and new experiences that enrich our lives.

We are honored to be featured in the Boston Business Journal .

For 25 years, Lasell Village has brought higher education and senior living together in one vibrant community. Our residents are not just participants. They are students, teachers, mentors, and active members of an intergenerational campus.

Thank you to Boston Business Journal and Maya for telling this story and highlighting what makes Lasell Village so special.

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to creating a place where learning, connection, and well-being flourish at every stage of life.

We could not be more proud of our residents and team members who bring this model to life every day.

A special type of senior class is stepping on campuses to provide hope for colleges as they cross into an era of enhanced financial challenges.

Zehra’s TEDx talk is finally live. This talk is an invitation to rethink how we design education, aging, and opportunity across the lifespan.

Our culture associates learning with achievement, as a stepping-stone to success and then you’re done. But I believe that its real power lies in identity: no...

Lasell Village was honored to host Jeffrey Goldberg, editor in chief of The Atlantic and host of Washington Week with The Atlantic on PBS, as part of our Distinguished Lecture Series. His visit reflects our commitment to fostering a community where serious ideas, civil discourse, and lifelong learning thrive.

The evening began with remarks from his longtime friend, former U.S. Attorney Joshua Levy, followed by a substantive conversation moderated by resident and Boston College Distinguished Fellow Phil Altbach. It was a thoughtful and meaningful exchange for our community. It was a night filled with warmth, great conversation and rich ideas. Thank you, Jeff!
