Quick answer
Brookhaven (North Logan) is an age-qualified 55+ community in North Logan, Cache County, Utah, with about 25 homes. Homes are single-family homes running 1,485 to 2,363 square feet, priced $414,000 to $571,000. The community is built out, so homes sell as resale.
It is a residential community, not assisted living or senior care. There is no staff, no nursing, and no meal service. Residents own their homes.

Brookhaven in North Logan is for-sale housing, not assisted living, despite being registered as Brookhaven Senior Living. Families researching for a parent land on the wrong assumption constantly.
About 25 detached homes built 2018 to 2022, the newest 55+ product in Cache Valley.
Broker's note
The name is the first problem. It is registered as Brookhaven Senior Living, which reads exactly like an assisted living facility, and families researching for a parent will assume that is what it is. It is not. This is a for-sale homeowners association of about 25 detached homes that you buy and own, and the board members are individual homeowners at ordinary single-family addresses. If someone quotes you a monthly rate that includes meals or care, they are describing a different property.
The homes themselves are the newest 55+ product in Cache Valley, built 2018 to 2022, running 1,485 to 2,363 square feet with assessed values from $414,000 to $571,000. All are single story except one 2,363 square foot home with two floors.
I am describing this as age-qualified rather than age-restricted because I could not verify the covenant. It is marketed as 55 and better, and North Logan's municipal code was not retrievable, so I cannot tell you whether the city even has a senior housing ordinance backing it. That means the age rule here rests on private covenants alone, which the recorded declaration would confirm.
The walking trails, garden boxes and pickleball that appear in secondary descriptions are unverified. Go look before you assign value to them. What is not in doubt is the location: about six minutes to Logan Regional Hospital.

Is this the right fit?
A good fit if you want
- The newest 55+ construction in Cache Valley
- Detached single-family homes rather than attached villas
- Being six minutes from Logan Regional Hospital
- A very small community of about 25 homes
Look elsewhere if
- You are looking for assisted living. This is for-sale housing
- You want confirmed amenities. None could be verified
- You want the age rule documented before touring
The homes
What "single-level" actually means here
Plenty of 55+ homes advertise main-floor living and still put the laundry in the basement or the second bedroom upstairs. Here is exactly what sits on the entry level.
- Primary suite on the entry level
- Laundry on the entry level
- All daily essentials on one floor
All homes are one story above grade except a 2,363 square foot home with two floors. County records count above-grade floors only, so basements are not ruled out.
What to check when you walk a home here
- Measure the interior doorways. 32 inches of clear width is the minimum that stays workable with a walker; 36 is better. This is expensive to change and easy to check with a tape measure.
- Look for a step-free way in. Often the garage door is the flattest entry in the house, and no listing ever mentions it.
- Push on the bathroom walls where a grab bar would go. If there is no blocking behind the drywall, adding one properly means opening the wall.
- Check whether the shower could go curbless without moving the drain, and whether there is turning room in the bathroom.
- Ask the age of the roof, furnace, and water heater. On resale homes in an established community, this is where the real money hides.
The HOA
Who actually runs this HOA
Registered with the Utah Department of Commerce as Brookhaven Senior Living (registration 14246603-MHOA). Managed by Community HOAM, Logan.
Registered under a Master HOA type. Despite the Senior Living name this is a for-sale homeowners association, not an assisted living facility. Board members are individual homeowners at single-family addresses.
This is the entity to ask for the budget, the reserve study, and the recorded CC&Rs. I request those for clients as a matter of course.
Two cautions I give every client buying into a newer association
Developer-set dues are introductory. While a builder still controls the association, dues are commonly set low and reserves underfunded, because low dues sell houses. After homeowners take over, boards routinely raise dues and levy assessments to catch up. Ask for the projected turnover date.
Ask for the reserve study, and check its date. Utah law requires a reserve analysis at least every six years, reviewed at least every three, with an annual summary to owners. Under 70 percent funded is a yellow flag. Under 50 percent is a real problem, and the bill arrives as a special assessment after you close.
Who is actually allowed to live here
This is the part that blindsides families, so I would rather over-explain it.
Under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act, a community keeps its senior exemption as long as at least 80 percent of occupied homes have a resident 55 or older. That remaining 20 percent is the cushion associations use to allow a younger spouse, an early-50s buyer, or a surviving partner.
The thing almost nobody knows: HOPA does not, by itself, protect an under-55 surviving spouse. Whether your husband or wife can stay after you are gone depends entirely on the recorded CC&Rs. Some communities include an explicit survivor clause. Some leave it to the board. Some are silent, which is the worst version.
Get these answered in writing before you write an offer
- Can a surviving spouse under 55 remain, and is it written down or left to the board?
- Can an heir under 55 inherit and live in the home, or only rent or sell it?
- How much of the 20 percent cushion is already in use? If the community sits at 19 percent, there is no room left for your spouse. This is obtainable from the association and virtually nobody asks.
- Can a live-in caregiver under 55 stay if one of you needs help?
- How many days per year may a younger guest stay, and does that constrain a summer with the grandchildren?

The question adult children ask that nobody answers
How does an ambulance get in? If a community is gated or has controlled access, ask whether the fire district has a Knox box or gate code on file, and whether the first-due unit carries a paramedic. That detail matters more than the drive time does.
A useful benchmark: Medicare Advantage network adequacy rules set maximum time and distance standards by county type. In large metro counties the primary care standard is 10 minutes or 5 miles.
If you stop driving
The least-discussed risk in active adult housing. Losing the ability to drive roughly doubles the risk of depression symptoms and social isolation, and where a home sits determines how hard that transition is.
- Is there a continuous sidewalk to anything useful, or does every errand require a car?
- What is the walk to a grocery store or pharmacy on the actual sidewalk route?
- Is the address inside a UTA paratransit service area? ADA paratransit generally covers within three quarters of a mile of a fixed route.
- Does a county senior transport or volunteer ride program serve this address?
What it really costs each month
The sticker price is the least interesting number. What matters is the monthly nut, and how it compares to what you are paying now.
Starting here, roughly
—/mo
Based on this community's entry price of $414,000 , with (July 30, 2026 average), plus a typical Utah effective property tax rate and insurance. Utilities are not included.
Run your own numbers (opens in a new tab)These payment figures are an estimate for budgeting and planning only. They are not a mortgage quote, a loan offer, or a commitment to lend. Your actual rate and payment depend on your credit, loan program, and current market rates. Talk to a licensed mortgage professional for real numbers. Connect with our preferred Utah lender.
* Based on what the community and builder publish about the dues, which I have looked up rather than assumed. It is not confirmed against the association's own budget and governing documents, and exactly what is covered can differ by phase, by home type, and over time. I pull the current budget and CC&Rs for clients before they write an offer.
This is the honest case for a 55+ community, and it is the one most people get wrong. The HOA fee is not purely an added cost. It replaces line items you already pay on a larger home, in cash or in your own labor. When someone tells me downsizing does not pencil, we usually find they compared the mortgage and the dues and left out the lawn service, the snow, and the roof they will need in six years.
Typical utilities
Rough monthly ranges for a home this size in North Logan. Utilities are the line item people most often forget to compare, and they are usually where a smaller home wins.
Estimates only, and they vary a lot. A townhome, a condo, and a detached single-family home of the same square footage can run very differently, and so can two neighbors in identical homes depending on thermostat habits, occupancy, and whether the yard is irrigated. Treat these as a starting point, then ask for the actual bills on a specific address.
For the son or daughter reading this
If you are researching on behalf of a parent, you are asking different questions than they are, and both sets are legitimate.
Some perspective, honestly offered: hands-on help from an adult child drops off sharply with distance. Weekly help hours fall from roughly three when you live on the same block to about one at two to five miles away, and keep falling from there. If you are weighing communities, distance from you matters more than most families treat it.
What to check here
How far it is from you. Whether the community is gated and how emergency services get in. Cell signal for a medical alert device. Broadband for telehealth. Whether an under-55 caregiver may live in. Whether the architectural committee permits a ramp or grab bars. And the overnight guest limit, which is the rule that quietly prevents you from staying a week to help.
What this community is, and what it is not
An active adult community is real estate, not care. There is no staff, no nurses, no meals, and no call system. If your parent needs help with bathing, dressing, or medication, that is assisted living, which is a different product entirely. Buying here because it sounds like a safer version of a house is the most expensive mistake families make.
Also worth knowing before you plan around it: Medicare does not pay for custodial help with bathing, dressing, meals, or housekeeping. It covers skilled, intermittent home health only. That gap is what actually forces the next move, and it catches families by surprise.
If you are coordinating with siblings
Agree among yourselves before anyone talks to your parents. The fastest way to derail this is one sibling feeling blindsided, and a parent who senses a united front they were not part of will dig in harder.
Decide early who is the point of contact, who handles the money conversation, and who is simply there for support. If the house eventually sells, the proceeds question tends to surface old family dynamics. Naming that in advance costs nothing and prevents a lot.
Paperwork worth locating now, not later
The deed, the mortgage payoff, a recent tax notice, and the HOA documents if there are any. If a parent may not be able to sign for themselves at some point, the power of attorney or trust paperwork matters enormously and is miserable to sort out under time pressure.
If the move is tied to care costs, talk to an elder law attorney and a CPA before anything sells. I am a broker, not a tax or legal advisor, but I work with families in this spot often and can point you to people who handle it properly.
The most common mistake is leading with logic. Parents who feel managed dig in. The families I see succeed start with what would make the next few years easier and more enjoyable, and let the house question follow.
I am glad to walk a community with the whole family at once and give the same honest read to everybody in the room. That is most of what I do.
Other 55+ communities to compare
Worth a look before you decide. I would rather you tour two or three than fall for the first one you see.

Frequently asked questions
-
Is Brookhaven in North Logan an assisted living facility?
No, and the name causes genuine confusion. It is registered with the state as Brookhaven Senior Living, which reads like a care facility, but it is a for-sale homeowners association of about 25 detached homes that residents buy and own. Board members are individual homeowners at ordinary single-family addresses. If a monthly rate you are quoted includes meals, housekeeping or care, that is a different property.
-
How new are the homes at Brookhaven?
Built between 2018 and 2022, which makes this the newest 55+ product in Cache Valley. Homes run 1,485 to 2,363 square feet with county assessed values from $414,000 to $571,000. All are one story above grade except a single 2,363 square foot home with two floors.
-
Is the 55+ rule at Brookhaven enforceable?
Unverified. It is marketed as 55 and better, but no recorded declaration has been reviewed, and North Logan's municipal code could not be retrieved to determine whether the city has a senior housing ordinance backing it. That means the age rule likely rests on private covenants alone. Ask for the recorded declaration before relying on it.
-
Does Brookhaven have amenities?
Nothing verified. Secondary sources mention walking trails, garden boxes and pickleball, but none of that could be confirmed from a primary source. At 25 homes a substantial amenity package would be unusual. Go see what actually exists before factoring amenities into what you pay.
