Welcome to Peace Village: An Independent and Assisted Senior Living Community of Norwood Young America

The Harbor at Peace Village is Norwood Young America’s first assisted living community. Assisted living takes away the hassles of owning your own home to give you the freedom to spend your time doing what you enjoy most.

Our community provides a diverse mix of amenities, personal services, on-site health care assistance if needed and much more. Each residence features a full kitchen, including a range, refrigerator, living room, bedroom, private bath with a shower, ample closet space, telephone hook-ups and a 24-hour response system.

The Harbor is part of ‘Peace Village’ – an active campus located on five beautiful acres in Norwood Young America, Minnesota. Our facility, apartments, and grounds are updated and well kept, and our convenient location places you in the heart of our downtown and near many amenities.

The Harbor at Peace Village is proud to be managed by Ecumen, which is Minnesota’s largest non-profit provider of housing for people “Living Fully After 50.” We look forward to meeting you and telling you more about the community and experience that we offer.
