Londonderry on the Tred Avon is celebrating “thirty years of good neighbors” in 2021.
Londonderry was established in 1991 as the Retirement Community of Easton, and its first resident moved in in 1992. Londonderry is situated on some of Talbot County’s most historic land along the Tred Avon River that was part of a 1667, 600-acre land grant from Lord Baltimore to Francis Armstrong, a Quaker, who emigrated from England. As the property changed hands over the next 100 years, it became known as London Derry, and eventually Londonderry, as it is called today.
Londonderry is the first and only resident-owned and operated independent living cooperative of its kind on the Eastern Shore. It has grown from its first 15 individual cottages and 17 residents to a vibrant community of over 140 cottages, 26 apartments and more than 180 residents.
Over the years, Londonderry has added more amenities and gathering spaces to meet the needs of residents and their families which include the Pool and Community Center, a complete renovation of the historic Magnolia Manor, an expansion of green space and access to the Tred Avon River, and the new Clubhouse that was completed in 2018.
Over the past three decades, Londonderry’s strength has been the camaraderie among residents and staff. This strong sense of community has seen Londonderry through many challenges, which now include a global pandemic. Amidst thirty years of change, Londonderry’s commitment to the health, safety and wellness of its residents remains its guiding constant.
“The success of Londonderry does not reside with one person, but with the countless residents and community members who have participated in growing our community to what we know today,” said Irma Toce, Londonderry on the Tred Avon CEO. “Thank you to everyone past, present, and future who knows that something great only comes from hard work and love.”
Londonderry looks forward to welcoming the community to “cheers 30 years” later this year.
