The Peconic Landing Difference
From the outside looking in, retirement communities can look very similar. Most offer independent living accommodations with a wide range of amenities and activities.
So what makes Peconic Landing so exceptional, so vastly different from other communities?
Peconic Landing’s combination of a unique equity-based structure, long list of achievements, and breathtaking waterfront location.
Life Plan model gives you peace of mind
There are four Life Plan Communities (or Continuing Care Retirement Communities) on Long Island. A Life Plan Community like Peconic Landing is a place for active, older adults that offers independent living with access to higher-level care should residents need additional support.
Peconic Landing is proud to be:
- the only Life Plan Community located on the East End of Long Island
Equity ownership provides financial control and security
Opened in 2002, Peconic Landing is New York’s first and only equity-based Life Plan Community. Our fiscally responsible model offers the possibility for members to:
- Retain the tax benefits of homeownership
- Build equity and earn appreciation
- Live at one of just 161 Life Plan Communities out of 1900 countrywide to hold a Fitch Investment Grade Rating
Cooperative structure offers you a voice
Ownership changes the way that members feel about their home and community. Our cooperative structure and equity model means that the people who live here are truly invested in our community as a whole. You won’t find more passionate, involved members anywhere else!
Here at Peconic Landing, our members can:
- Take part in Finance, Culinary, Buildings & Grounds, and other Committees that work directly with management to advance the community
- Vote for three fellow members to represent you on the Housing Association Cooperative Board, which works with management and the Board of Trustees to carry out Peconic Landing’s mission and vision
- Meet with the CEO three times a month at one of our Town Halls or Chats to speak up and have your voice heard
A proven standard of excellence means you are in good hands
Peconic Landing’s approach to innovation is built upon a simple foundation: we are on a continual journey, always growing and moving forward in a positive direction. The train must never reach the station but set an infinite course toward cutting-edge advances in care and service to older adults.
