Aurora Village Apartments is an affordable senior living community built in 1983 with 100 one-bedroom apartments, serving people aged 62 and older who have very low incomes, and residents need to earn 50% or less of the Area Median Income to qualify, so there's a required application process where people have to show a driver's license, social security card, proof of income, bank statements, and give credit and personal references, and many of the apartments have Project-Based Rental Assistance, so rents are set at about 30% of a person's monthly income with funding tied to the units themselves, which means there can be waiting lists, and while the property accepts housing vouchers, Section 8 vouchers can't be used here because of the contract, but the apartments are noted for being spacious and sometimes more updated or larger than older complexes because they're either newer or have been recently renovated, and there's a mix of market-rate, affordable, and luxury options, so residents can expect a variety of living arrangements all designed for seniors.
The property is designed for retired adults who want to live independently, yet stay social and active, with senior-friendly amenities like elevators for multi-floor living, accessible units for those with mobility needs, on-site mail delivery, community dining, and nutritious meals made with good ingredients, as well as community spaces that include a clubhouse, gardens, walking trails, and areas for recreation, plus fire alarms and smoke detectors for safety, and it's a non-smoking facility and small pets like dogs and cats are allowed, which can be comforting for many, and the grounds are landscaped to offer peaceful walking and outdoor relaxation, so people who travel or want peace of mind while away know their homes are maintained.
Aurora Village also provides assisted living and memory care services for those needing help with daily activities or who are living with conditions like Alzheimer's, with staff and facility features designed to reduce confusion and keep residents safe from wandering, and the management team is recognized for their training in affordable housing, including LIHTC program rules and HUD compliance, which helps keep everything running smoothly, from maintenance to accounting.
Some apartment types may include housekeeping, transportation services, and utilities in the rent, and residents don't have to pay property taxes, but there are specific income and age requirements, and interested applicants need to go through documentation steps for eligibility, and Aurora Village offers independent living for active, healthy seniors, as well as more supportive care levels like assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and even hospice care, all under the umbrella of being a Section 8 (202) Community, so people can find the right level of help while living in a comfortable community surrounded by peers.
