The Forest At Duke Description
In the 1980s, some faculty members and neighbors of Duke University envisioned an exceptional retirement experience near their university setting. They banded together, acquired land near the Duke campus, and created a team to explore the possibilities.
From the outset, the team relied on advice from Duke’s Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development, Duke alumni, retired faculty and staff, and local and nationwide retirees to gain a broad perspective of a fulfilled retirement. With insight from these groups and many visits to prominent retirement communities across the country, their dream began to take shape.
The Forest at Duke, Inc. organized in October 1988 as a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) corporation. The new entity worked swiftly to plan, build, own, and manage the new retirement community. As a master campus plan developed, soon-to-be residents reserved their future homes and construction began. Finally, in September of 1992, the very first residents moved into their newly completed homes.
