Central School Apartments sits at 2120 Central Ave in Anderson and offers one- and two-bedroom apartment homes for people aged 55 and older, and you'll find that they've kept many original architectural details from when it used to be a school, which gives the place some character you don't always see in newer buildings. The apartments are all on one level, so getting around's not much trouble, and you get a choice between ground floor units or ones with elevator access, plus the private entrances make each place feel pretty homey, and you even get garages if you want them along with extra uncovered parking spots. Every apartment comes with big closets, walk-in closets, washer and dryer hookups, carpeted floors, window treatments, air conditioning, and a fully-equipped kitchen with the appliances you'd expect, so daily chores stay simple. Some apartments have wheelchair accessible showers and others have a tub and shower, so there's options for different needs, and the facility also lists both residential and assisted living services, including memory care for people with Alzheimer's, though what's included with care isn't detailed.
If you don't feel like doing laundry in your own apartment, you can use the laundry rooms on site. For those who like time outdoors, there's a patio garden with raised beds where residents can work in the dirt, and the property's close to Shadyside Park and Rangeline Nature Preserve if you like to walk or hike. Indoors, you'll find a lounge area, a clubhouse for bigger gatherings, and a craft area, along with community spaces like meeting rooms and recreational rooms, so there's a few spots to relax or visit with neighbors. The property manager's around on-site to help with problems or maintenance, and if you drive, you have options for surface parking or a private garage. Pets are allowed with limits on size and breed, but some information says dogs and cats aren't welcome, so it may depend on the current policy and it's best to check to be sure.
Central School Apartments is an income-restricted property and their leases are flexible, with online rent payments available. Security is addressed with controlled entryways. You can ask about units for rent or for sale, and exact floor plans are given when you contact them. They focus on making a welcoming community and say they're always working to improve things for the residents. The apartments offer a choice for seniors looking for a spot with a bit of history, privacy, and a few places to gather with others.
