Lyons Court Senior Apartments sits right in downtown St. Paul, MN, close to shopping, dining, entertainment, and houses of worship, with hospitals like United, Regions, and St. Joseph's only a couple miles away, and the place has good transportation options since you've got bus lines, the Green Line light rail, and major highways all within easy reach. The building has five stories with one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, and two-bedroom apartments for people aged 62 and over, and since the complex works as affordable, subsidized housing, rents are based on your income, and there are income and age restrictions, and a few units are more accessible for people who need them. The apartments include central air and heat, individual climate controls, vinyl plank floors in the kitchens and living rooms, carpeting in bedrooms, large windows that bring in a lot of light, walk-in showers, lots of closet space, microwaves, mini-blinds, and electric ovens, so you get modern features, plus water, sewer, and trash are paid for with your rent.
The community is designed to help seniors live independently, and although the management didn't put out more detailed public information, the staff's known to be friendly and helpful, and they'll help you lift things up to 25 pounds if you need it. There's 24-hour emergency maintenance and on-site management, and entry's controlled for security, plus there's elevator access and heated underground parking. There's a fitness room, a business center, shared laundry facilities on every floor, and spaces to relax, like a first-floor common room with couches and tables for socializing or games, a party room, a community room with TV and kitchen, plus a side patio where neighbors can gather outside. You'll also find plenty of storage in closets and kitchen cabinets.
Residents who like pets can have cats or dogs as long as they don't weigh more than 30 pounds, with up to two pets per apartment and a one-time $300 fee per animal. The building's 100% smoke-free, and the smoke-free rule applies inside, and the community has also worked to promote smoke-free living. Lyons Court Senior Apartments sits in an urban village close to Wacouta Commons Park, with neighborhood shops, apartments, condo lofts, and places to walk, so you can enjoy nature, nearby attractions, and a quiet, friendly environment, but still be part of city life.
