CAROL DAPOGNY

THEATER AFICIONADO + GENTLE INDIVIDUALIST
+ LOYAL TO FRENCH PROVINCIAL

"I love the independence that I have here."

For Carol, Monarch Landing is a place of involvement, cultural interaction and independence. She styled her apartment home after her past home, but she lives in the present and for the future.

Inspiration Is Timeless

New arrivals at Monarch Landing are often surprised by how wide-ranging their neighbors’ interests and creative accomplishments are. It comes as no surprise to us, however.

Talent abounds in this very diverse community, expressed through painting, sculpture, music, poetry workshops, legacy journaling, book clubs, and more.

Some bring life-long interests with them; others cultivate new ones right here. Either way, our craft shop, library and music room are invariably packed. As is our on-campus entertainment calendar—with concerts from classical to swing, vintage and first-run films, live theater, lectures.

You’ll also want to explore the many nearby attractions in Naperville and surrounding communities with their thriving theater, art, shopping, and music scenes. Drive independently or join a scheduled outing. And don’t forget a cultural mecca called downtown Chicago...just an easy car ride away.
