When you walk through the door of Shirlee's apartment, you can't help but notice the abundance of unique items displayed in each room. Moments after entering, she sits us down at her living room table and offers coffee. While preparing herself a cup, she chats about why she chose the wall colors and how she's customized it over the years. Shirlee has been a resident at Centra Villa Apartments for over 30 years and the home she's created reflects her artistic and exuberant spirit.

Shirlee told us stories of how she ended up at Centra Villa and the oasis she's found here. She discusses how important the office managers have been in making her feel at home.
