Heritage Park - Duarte, managed by Western Seniors Housing, has senior apartments for people 62 and older, including Andres Duarte Terrace Senior Apartments with 80 one-bedroom units and Royal Vista Terrace Apartments, which have served residents since 2015. The community sits in secluded, peaceful landscaping with flowering trees and nice views, while offering easy access to highways nearby. The apartments are designed for seniors and provide only one-bedroom homes with all-electric kitchens, air conditioning, plush carpeting, and spacious living areas, and every unit has all appliances included, which means people don't have to worry about extra expenses.
The community takes part in HUD Section 202 Project Rental Assistance and accepts Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, with low-income housing programs for both individuals and families that keep rents below market rates. Heritage Park - Duarte follows the LIHTC 40/60 election, reserving at least 40 percent of its units for those earning sixty percent or less of the Area Median Income. Apartments appear in updated HUD listings and offer options for public housing, non-profit low-income senior and family apartments, and income-restricted housing tax credit complexes.
Heritage Park Senior Apartments, at 915 Highland Ave. in Duarte, includes features like accessible parking, elevators, and wheelchair ramps for safety, and welcomes pets. Residents have 24-hour emergency maintenance service and use community amenities such as a clubhouse, a library, a BBQ picnic area, and a laundry facility, with well-kept landscaping and social events in place to engage everyone.
Staff members are known to be helpful and kind, giving friendly support and a welcoming feeling for all residents. Heritage Park - Duarte supports independent and assisted living, helping with daily needs like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and tries to keep everyone as independent as possible for as long as possible, with activities that keep people active and connected. There's also a memory care option for those with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia, focusing on safety and comfort to reduce confusion and prevent wandering. Nutritious meals are prepared with quality ingredients to help support health. Programs and other housing communities connected to this initiative, such as Long Beach Senior Arts Colony, Arboleda Senior Apartments, and The Cannery at Lewis Street in Gilroy, show a focus on affordable, accessible, and safe housing for seniors who want both comfort and care options in their later years.
