Regal Plaza is a senior apartment community in Wichita, Kansas for people aged 62 and older, located near the intersection of East 21st Street North and North Woodlawn Boulevard, and you'll notice that the property, which is also called Regal Cottages - Tax Credit Community, has off-street parking, close access to public transportation, and no pets allowed, which some folks might like or not, but that's the rule, and you've got floor plans between 600 and 745 square feet, mostly offering 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom options, with each unit having one bath, carpet, vinyl, and window blinds throughout, and energy-efficient central heating and air to keep it comfortable all year, along with a washer and dryer included, and a kitchen that comes fully equipped with an oven, range, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, double basin sink, and garbage disposal, so you don't have to bring much except your own dishes and linens.
Utilities covered in the rent are water, sewer, trash removal, and even internet, with Cox cable TV available at a lower rate, and that's handy if you watch a lot of TV, and out in the community spaces there's a large exercise room, a computer room, vending machines, two large-screen TVs for group events, and a laundry facility if you'd rather not use the washer and dryer in your unit, and sometimes you'll see people gathering at the gazebo, which has a gas grill, so cookouts are pretty easy too, and for safety there's an advanced CCTV system plus fire suppression sprinklers, and if something goes wrong there's always 24/7 emergency maintenance available.
The management is described as helpful and efficient, with friendly staff who aim to make things run smooth and keep the community looking neat, and residents can take part in social and physical activities, with nutritious meals cooked by chefs and meal planners using quality ingredients, though meal plans might not be included in every living option, and the place is known for its neighborly Midwest feel where people tend to know one another and lend a hand, and the apartments are income-based under Section 8, so monthly rent for a 1-bedroom unit can start at $559, and even though it's close-knit, it's a bigger operation with 19 homes across three locations in Northeast Wichita, and services offered include independent living, assisted living for folks who need extra help with daily activities, short-term and respite stays, memory care for people with Alzheimer's or related conditions, and home care services with aides who come to your apartment to help out when needed, plus residential care for children through Presbyterian Manors of Mid-America.
Accessibility is considered for residents with mobility needs, since select units are disabled accessible, and parking and transport services help with getting around, and while every community has its ups and downs, Regal Plaza does have a calm, steady atmosphere, with a focus on supporting seniors who want a safe, practical, and social environment where you don't have to worry much about the basics, and everything feels sort of settled and familiar, with the amenities you might expect, and a few nice extras too.
