Bonnie Brae Terrace sits at 2400 Carlmont Drive in Belmont, California, and it's a senior rental community run by the Lesley Foundation, a nonprofit that's been around since 1944, offering affordable housing for very low-income older adults, with rent usually about 30% of monthly income and eligibility based on Section 8 (202) guidelines. The building has over 130 studio apartments and nearly 10 one-bedroom apartments, all smoke-free, and pets are welcome if approved. You'll find maintenance staff, management staff, and a social service coordinator on site, offering help for residents when they need it. The building's elevators and several accessible units help people with mobility needs, and safety features like fire alarms and smoke detectors are installed throughout.
Inside, you'll see a library, computers with high-speed Internet, a clubhouse, a social hall, and a community lounge, plus television sets and DVD players for group entertainment. There's covered parking, gated access, and parking areas outside. A coin-operated laundry room is on site, and mail gets delivered right to the building. A dining hall offers meal plan services, and the upgraded courtyard and garden have peaceful sitting areas and lounge chairs where neighbors can relax or talk. Planned activities and social events run regularly, giving everyone a chance to stay busy and meet others. Leasing professionals help answer questions, schedule tours, and assist with moving in, and people can use the online contact form to start the process or ask about appointments, including on Saturday if a weekday visit's tough. Building staff keep the property in good shape with on-site maintenance. There's also a list of amenities on the website and a number of improvements under way, like a fitness center, beauty salon, yoga room, and creative studios for art and music to help keep life interesting. Bonnie Brae Terrace tries to cover a range of needs for seniors who want affordable housing with some social engagement and a safe environment.
