Independent Living

Located on a 32-acre tree-lined campus featuring many historic Spanish Revival buildings and variegated landscaping, Pilgrim Place is centrally located in the center of Claremont, California. Residents entering the community may select one of our private, distinctively individual independent residential homes, ranging in size from 600 square feet to 1,800 square feet – all uniquely designed to create an integrated neighborhood.

Applicants are eligible to move to Pilgrim Place after their 60th birthday. (If a couple is making an application, one of them must be at least 60 years old.) Applicants submit a personal statement that describes the causes in which they have been engaged either through work or volunteer life. Pilgrim Place is open to all such qualified persons regardless of gender, religion, race, ethnicity, national origin, disability, marital status, or sexual orientation.
