Campbell Terrace Apartments sits at 2061 N Campbell Ave Fl 1, in Chicago, Illinois, 60647, and stands as a low-income housing community created under the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, which means the apartments provide affordable living based on the Area Median Income, and to get a spot there, everyone applying needs to verify income for all adults who'll be living in the unit, a process that can take some time since the waiting lists often stretch on for years, especially with its 249 low-income units, including options for studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts, all grouped together in a place rated as the 103rd highest in Chicago out of 161, with an average rating of 6.8 out of 10, which gives a sense that it's well-used by the community, but maybe not outstanding in every way.
The place offers different types of care and living, like independent living for those who like staying active without worrying about chores or maintenance, and there's assisted living that helps with daily things such as bathing, dressing, or medication, and for seniors needing more help, there's an intermediate level of care, though not exactly the kind of around-the-clock care you'd find at a full nursing home, and for those with memory issues like Alzheimer's or dementia, the building has special memory care, with secure spaces to help prevent wandering and reduce confusion, which can bring families some peace of mind.
The apartments work well for low-income seniors who want to live close to the heart of Chicago, about 5.2 miles out, in a part of the city that's got parks, restaurants, pharmacies, hospitals, and places to eat or catch a show nearby, so there's opportunity to stay social or just enjoy some fresh air, while still having easy access to things like pharmacies if medication's needed or hospitals if something goes wrong. While there isn't a lot of information about special features or unique names for programs, Campbell Terrace does have some basics covered, like landscaping, parking, building maintenance, lobby service, and things like nutritious meals cooked by chefs and meal planners to keep diets balanced, which matters more as folks get a bit older and food becomes more important for keeping up health.
Those thinking of moving here will want to double-check availability, maybe call to see how the waiting lists are moving, because with so many people looking for affordable places in Chicago, it sometimes takes quite a while for a spot to come open, and income rules make the process a little bit longer. While it doesn't go into detail about every service or amenity, Campbell Terrace Apartments stands as a place where seniors can choose from independent living, assisted living, memory care, and continuing care retirement community options, making it a flexible space for those who want to remain in their community as their needs change-or just have a quiet, simple home without any fuss.
