Oakwood Village sits at 580 Cox Ave in Marquette, Michigan, right where folks can find a real sense of community and independence but know that support is close by, and it's a place where seniors 62 and older can live in one-bedroom apartments, with the rent based on 30% of a resident's income through the HUD Section 202 program, so it's affordable for folks with low incomes, though there's a waiting list that can sometimes be long because demand stays high. The property's modern, built after 1990, and owned and managed by LSS, while offering on-site professional management, an office, maintenance staff for repairs, and service coordination for things like healthcare management and transportation, and you'll also find community rooms, laundry, elevator access, storage units, and smoke-free apartments, with pets allowed when they meet certain rules. The rent includes the cost of gas, water, sewer, trash, and a utility allowance for electric, and the apartments themselves are designed to support independent living, with accessibility features for those with disabilities.
People at Oakwood Village often enjoy wellness programs, volunteer opportunities, social activities, and events that help seniors stay active and feel at home, while different care levels exist for folks who might need assisted living, supported living, short-term care, or memory care due to cognitive changes, and they've got special programs like "Suggest Program" and "Claim Programs" for unique needs. The whole place runs as a community where everyone gets respect, and the culture is supportive and welcoming, and there are over 425 units across more than 30 properties, including apartments set aside for people with physical disabilities, chronic mental illnesses, or developmental disabilities, not just in Oakwood Village but in other communities like Alden St. Apartments and Cherry Creek Village. Residents have easy access to on-site coin laundry, an accessible building with elevators, and can take part in lifelong learning through educational resources, social services, wellness activities, and advocacy on topics like elder care and estate planning.
