Aqua Apartments sits in the Wellswood neighborhood of Tampa, Florida, and operates as an affordable housing option for seniors through the HUD Section 202 program, so rents are based on income, usually around 30% of what a tenant earns each month, and is specially for those aged 62 or older who need independent living. The apartments are in a high-rise building and have both studios, about 470 square feet, and one-bedroom units, coming in at 595 square feet, and all are non-smoking, have large walk-in closets, central air and heating, cable-ready outlets, energy-saving kitchen appliances, and full kitchens. The building is recently renovated and has elevators for easy movement between floors, accessible units, and amenities and features that meet the needs of folks with disabilities, including a website that works with screen readers and complies with accessibility standards.
There's a secure card entry, onsite check-in system, emergency call equipment, cameras that you can see on the TV, and community news on the TV too, which helps security and lets residents keep up with what's going on. The place has no parking, but it's right across from public transit, so getting around without a car is easier. Maintenance staff and management are on the property and there's an online maintenance system as well as online rent pay. Residents can enjoy a fitness center, yoga room, bocce ball court, community garden, arts and crafts room, library, computer lab, and a community room for events and planned activities.

Aqua Apartments also puts an emphasis on keeping things friendly and accessible for older folks, with activities planned for residents, features made for wheelchair access, and well-kept spaces that support independent living. All homes are professionally managed and designed for seniors who like to keep some independence but know they'll have support close by, though there's no information on things like nursing or personal care.
