518-523-9670 · 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: 99/100 (the median for this program is 95) · inspected 2024-07-23
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.

Service coordinator on site. A staff member whose job is connecting residents to meals, transport, benefits and home-based help — often the difference between staying independent here and needing to move.

Apartments: 41 (40 subsidised)
HUD records the residents served as: Wholly Elderly Housekeeping
HUD program category: Insured-Subsidized
