Pleasant View

Pleasant View Experience the inviting hometown spirit that thrives at Pleasant View, the one and only, true Life Plan community in Ottawa, Illinois.

The first thing you’ll notice are our freestanding, single family homes, some featuring a garage that all face a gorgeous, rural park and a lot of space to roam. Residents get the best of both worlds: Privacy and community connection. Your dog (and cat) are invited, too! For generations, friends and family have lived and worked together here, sharing a life of integrity and independence surrounded by glorious natural beauty. Best of all, you’ll have the peace of mind that comes with having a full continuum of care that’s rooted in honest Midwestern values at the core of our community culture. Pleasant View is perfect for independent spirits who enjoy convenient living.
