Market Street Lofts, also known as Alcoba Apartments at 718 N. Market, sits in Wichita, KS, in a spot that's pretty close to neighborhoods like Westlink and Calfskin and near ZIP codes 67212 and 67209, and while it looks much like your typical apartment building from the outside, it has features made for seniors who want to live on their own but might still need some help now and then, and sometimes the building's set up for folks who need care for things like dementia, or support with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and keeping up with their medications, so it's a place that tries to be a fit for seniors who are mostly healthy but want a bit of help nearby, and the building was finished in 2011 in a spot with a walk score of 39, so most things require a car, though there's some public transit, as shown with a transit score of 27, and it's near a few elementary schools like Bostic Traditional Magnet, Beech, and Minneha Core Knowledge, making it set in a lived-in area, but right now there aren't any open units for rent, so there's a waiting list or you might have to check again later.
The property is a LIHTC apartment building, which means some apartments there are affordable for people and families earning 50% or 60% of the area's median income, and while rent can be lower for those who qualify, there isn't always rental assistance tied specifically to the unit, and sometimes there's not much of a waiting list, and the place does accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, as it's required for LIHTC properties, and usually the units are a little roomier than other affordable apartments and have a few more features set up for seniors. The apartments allow cats and dogs, though there are weight limits, so pets are welcome if they're not too big, and there are indoor and outdoor common areas where people can gather, as well as baths and tubs in the units, and medical services like medication management are available, plus some safety features like home security and walk-in tubs, so it's made with aging in place in mind.
There's transportation and parking for those who drive or need help getting around, and technology services for seniors, like senior-friendly internet plans, cell phones, and hearing aids, and medical alert systems such as Bay Alarm Medical, Medical Guardian, and ADT Medical Alert, are also part of the support, and services connected with rehab of historic buildings, which means some character in the design, and rental management makes things easier for residents. The building could suit people needing independent living, assisted living, memory care, or even companion care, with support for seniors with dementia in an environment intended to help keep them safe.
There's community-provided transportation and resident parking, so getting out and about or having visitors shouldn't be too tough, but since nothing's specifically mentioned about extra amenities or special programs by name, what's known so far sticks to housing and basic help for seniors, and all details are up to date as of June 7, 2024, under a listing by Joshua Cappell.
