Hillside Terrace I and II sit in Monticello, MN, at 207 E. 7th St., in a quiet residential area that's close to downtown shopping, restaurants, and services. The community offers a mix of senior apartments and townhomes for people 55 and older, with different options depending on needs. There're one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes-some are standard apartments, and others are spacious two- or three-bedroom townhomes with private entrances, patios, walk-in storage rooms, and washer/dryer hook-ups. All homes have central air, cable-ready units, high-speed internet, and kitchens with lots of room. Some units fall under Section 8 or Rural Development programs, which means rent depends on income, and there's help available for qualified households, with one-bedroom apartments typically at $575 per month and two-bedrooms at $620 per month.
Residents get assigned off-street plug-in parking or can use detached garages, and there are bicycle racks close by if they need them. The buildings keep things secure with controlled entry, and there's an on-site management office and 24-hour emergency maintenance. Laundry facilities are available for everyone, and some homes have their own washers and dryers. Pets are limited to assistance animals only, which helps keep the space comfortable for those with allergies. Activities and a community room provide chances for neighbors to spend time together, and a playground serves visiting grandchildren. Outdoors, private patios, balconies, community garden plots, barbecue grills, and space to enjoy the fresh air let everyone find their spot. Across the street, Prestemon Park offers more outdoor options, and it's a short drive to Salo Park, Silver Lake, and Hart Lake for day trips.
Hillside Terrace I and II offer several care options: independent living for active seniors, assisted living with help for bathing or medications, and memory care for people with Alzheimer's or dementia in safe surroundings. There's skilled nursing available too, plus a Resident Support Program to connect people to services they may need. Friendly, trained staff stay on site and provide help when needed. Social, educational, and entertainment activities are structured to make it easier to make friends and keep active. Security and maintenance help residents feel at ease, and people can decorate their suites with their own belongings.
Common areas around the complex include a billiards room, party space, laundry areas, trash chutes, beauty shop, and even a basketball court. A bus line, nearby clinics, pharmacies, physicians, hospitals, places of worship, and other city amenities make day-to-day life easier. Every home aims to be accessible and safe for seniors who want comfortable living without much fuss. Thies & Talle Management runs Hillside Terrace I and II along with many other places in the region, prioritizing customer service and maintaining a good living environment for everyone who lives there.
