Villa Rita

Villa Rita offers the finest retirement living in Superior. Active older adults living at Villa Rita, a 24-unit senior apartment complex, enjoy being close to the beautiful shores of Lake Superior, the University of Wisconsin Superior, medical clinics and a hospital, bus route, churches, shopping, and restaurants.

Apartment Styles

You will be impressed by all Villa Rita has to offer. Choose from spacious one and two bedroom apartments to meet your lifestyle needs. Each offers a kitchen complete with a full-size range and refrigerator; “hobby” area with room for a computer desk, sewing table, or craft table; a closet with hook-ups for a washer and dryer; 24-hour emergency call system; and bathrooms with step-in-showers. A limited number of garages are available.

Amenities

Amenities include a private dining room for those special dinners or holiday gatherings; a beauty shop; exercise room; library; community room with a fireplace; and family room. Take pleasure in spending time outdoors relaxing, watching the wildlife, or visiting with friends and family on the covered porch or open patio.

Villa Rita is a great living option for snowbirds and those who love to travel-lock your door, notify the manager, and enjoy your trip. No need to worry about shoveling snow or mowing the lawn, we’ll do that for you.

Optional Services

In addition, our professional staff will assist you with arranging for optional assistance as your needs change, such as Meals on Wheels, housekeeping, and home health or home care services.
