Senior living in Tecumseh

With its charming small-town ambience and stunning setting on the shores of lovely Lake St. Clair, it’s hard to believe that Tecumseh is only 15 minutes from Windsor’s urban borders. Tecumseh enjoys its own distinct character, belying its village-like feel, offering a wide range of amenities for residents, including active seniors. Travel five minutes south on Manning Road and you’ll find the St. Clair Beach Shopping Centre, with grocery store, restaurants and Starbucks, bank, and Dollarama. There are also more shops and services nearby, including an LCBO, cinemas, several medical clinics, and pharmacy. Residents also love the fact that a beautiful beach with walking trails and fishing from the pier is right on their doorstep. Of course, Windsor’s many attractions and amenities are there too, including Caesars Windsor Casino, Windsor Regional Hospital, and the airport, all under 30 minutes away.

Things to do in Tecumseh

Beautiful Lake St. Clair is Tecumseh’s number one natural attraction for residents and visitors alike. Next door to Chartwell St. Clair Beach, you’ll find Lakewood Beach and Park. It’s the perfect place to watch a spectacular sunset over the water, graced by a boardwalk, gardens, benches, and fishing off the pier. You can also enjoy free outdoor concerts in the summer pavilion, and disc golfing on the course across Riverside Drive. Enjoy the water even more with a canoe rental from a local shop.

Tecumseh has 40 km of trails that snake through the town, including the Chrysler Canada Greenway and the McAuliffe Woods Trail, the latter a wonderful place for bird watching. When you get hungry, Tecumseh has a satisfying range of restaurants, including local gastropubs and Lebanese, Italian, Thai, and many other international cuisines.

Named one of Ontario’s top 100 festivals, the Tecumseh Corn Festival is the summer event to get your fix of local hot-buttered corn, live entertainment, and a midway. For quieter indoor pursuits, check out the Tecumseh Area Historical Society Museum and the local library, both offering community programs.

Because Tecumseh is only 15 minutes away from Windsor, residents can also take advantage of marquee attractions such as Caesars Windsor Casino, the Canadian Aviation Museum, and the Ambassador Bridge border crossing.
