The Hendrickson is a new apartment building for adults aged 55 and older, located in Falcon Heights, MN, close to the Minnesota State Fair Transit Hub and right near Rosedale Mall, with broad views of the University farm fields. The building has about 60 units, so it feels pretty cozy and neighbors tend to know each other. Residents can choose between studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom floor plans, with sizes ranging from 577 to 731 square feet, and every apartment features up-to-date kitchens with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, full-size washer and dryer, large walk-in closets, breakfast bars, and plenty of natural light, plus walk-in showers and private balconies in some units. Dogs and cats are welcome, and both small and large breeds can move in. The base rent falls between $1,385 and $1,739 a month, though the actual price depends on the layout and availability.
The Hendrickson supports different levels of independence, featuring independent living, assisted living, memory care, skilled nursing, and specialized care services, with staff who help create personalized care plans based on each resident's needs, though full details on how these services work aren't spelled out. Accessibility is important here, so you'll see elevators, wheelchair accessible showers, and wide hallways, and there's controlled access for security. Residents handle much of the community life themselves, organizing things like a garden club, book club, monthly potlucks, and weekly coffee gatherings-most people here enjoy organizing activities together. Almost everything in the building is brand new, with modern touches and a comfortable design, including air conditioning, private bath tubs, and planting boxes for those who like to grow their own flowers or vegetables.
Common spaces include a large community room with high ceilings and a full kitchen for gatherings, a fitness studio, a library with a big screen TV, a private dining room, a clubhouse, and a screened porch connected to a backyard patio where flowers bloom in the summer; there's also a three-season porch and underground parking, plus an outdoor parking lot too. Residents can relax indoors with friends or step outside for nearby parks, pharmacies, hospitals, restaurants, places of worship, cafes, and theaters, since the neighborhood is lively and walkable. Most errands and appointments are easy to reach, whether you use a car or public transportation. Maintenance requests are answered during weekdays, and there's a friendly on-site manager who keeps things running. Apartments and shared spaces feel open and welcoming, both for new arrivals and longtime residents, with a quiet, relaxed atmosphere that's well-suited for older adults looking for independent apartment living with extra support if needed.
