VAN BUREN PLACE APARTMENTS

1504 W Van Buren St, Chicago, IL 60607 · HUD Section 202 Sec. 202

312-733-6187 · call about availability & waiting list

How this works: this is a subsidized apartment community for adults 62+ with low income — rent is generally capped near 30% of what you earn, with the federal program covering the rest. It is independent housing (not a care facility). Most have a waiting list, so apply early and to several. Who qualifies: generally 62+ with income at or below about 50% of your area’s median income, and many units target very-low-income (30%). The limit varies by county and household size — look up your county’s limit ↗, or ask the property. How to qualify & apply →

HUD’s record for this property

HUD physical inspection score: 97/100 (the median for this program is 95) · inspected 2019-05-13
HUD inspects the building itself — roofs, wiring, rails, smoke detectors, common areas. A high score means the property is in good physical repair. It is not a rating of the staff, the neighbours, or how long the waiting list is, and inspections are periodic rather than continuous.

Apartments: 124 (123 subsidised)
HUD records the residents served as: Wholly Elderly Housekeeping

Waiting lists are long and vary property by property, so applying to several at once is the normal advice. See every property we hold in Illinois.
