Seton South sits at 155 Highview Blvd in Columbus, Ohio, and provides apartment living for seniors aged 62 and over, with income restrictions based on federal guidelines, so people pay rent that usually comes out to about 30% of what they make each month and utilities are included except for cable and phone. This two-story building with an elevator has 60 one-bedroom apartments, including three fully barrier-free units set up for easy wheelchair use or those needing more accessibility, and it's got secured, keyed entry along with cameras inside and outside, so the place feels safe, plus they don't allow smoking and they let folks have pets. Residents get well care visits every month where a registered nurse comes in and checks blood pressure, pulse, and glucose, and those check-ups don't cost extra. People can join in on monthly educational programs and listen to speakers, play games in the puzzle room, enjoy the library, or gather in the community room with its full kitchen.
Laundry is handy with machines on every floor, and the building has two lobbies on each level, giving folks places to sit and chat or read, and there's a big country-style porch in front for relaxing, as well as a large, fenced courtyard with an awning for shade. For outings, Senior Options shuttle runs up to three times a week to the Obetz Senior Center, and there's free transportation each week to Krogers and Wal-Mart, plus shopping is close by with CVS and Walgreen pharmacies right in the neighborhood. An on-site Service Coordinator helps residents connect with needed services, and the on-site management and maintenance teams watch over the place and take care of things so folks don't have to worry.
Seton South has a quiet, helpful, friendly community feeling and welcomes people from all backgrounds, following fair housing and equal opportunity rules, including protections for LGBTQ residents and folks with different sources of income. The property is part of Section 8 (202) Housing, so rent is based on income and the community supports very low-income elderly people with supportive services. The apartments come unfurnished but have a stove and a refrigerator, and the building's designed for easy access for everyone, with an elevator and spacious hallways. There's no extra cost for most amenities, but details about parking, garages, or outdoor spaces aren't specified, and apartments don't come with washers, dryers, or extra fancy amenities. The mix of independent living, accessible units, and supportive services lets seniors stay active and connected, while monthly health checks and secure entry add peace of mind.
