Caro Alpine South sits at 1544 Van Geisen Road in Caro, right in the middle of Michigan's Thumb area, and you'll find this is a quiet, smaller place with 20 one-bedroom, one-bath apartments, each about 600 square feet, and these apartments were built back in 1980. Residents must be 62 and older or be disabled at any age, and income restrictions do apply here. The building's pet policy says both cats and dogs are allowed, as long as any dog fits under the weight limit they've set, and the place offers smoke-free units for those who want that, and people who need Section 8 housing assistance can live here, too. There's assigned parking, and each apartment comes with its own laundry and air conditioning, and folks can choose between two different floorplans, both made spacious and affordable for seniors. The apartments aim to be accessible, offering ground floor units, options for wheelchair use, and either showers or bathtubs that are easier to get in and out of.
The community offers programs with unique names for its care services, and works with every resident to match care to what that person needs, whether it's help with daily tasks, assisted living, medication management, or Alzheimer's care. Community features include services like transportation for a fee, and someone is there who can help guide residents or families to compare costs and services, so no one has to figure things out alone. Caro Alpine South gives legal protections to residents based on gender identity, orientation, and income source, and different payment options are allowed here. The place is more car-dependent, as the area walk score stands at 30, so people usually need a car to get around, but parking is available on site for residents. There aren't a lot of extras listed for outdoor amenities, but the focus stays on safety, comfort, and making the apartments easy to live in. The property sits close to nearby towns like Mayville and Deford, in neighborhoods such as Millers Lake and Northeast, and families will find it in Tuscola County, within the 48723 zip code. Rental terms last 12 months or longer and units may be available for rent or sale. The building puts a focus on keeping things accessible, affordable, and tailored to local seniors, doing what's needed to give folks a safe spot to call home as they age.
