AHEPA is a senior apartment community in a quiet, residential area of Highland Park, New Jersey, made for people who are 55 and older, and the whole place has a calm feeling with nicely landscaped grounds, a clubhouse with a kitchen, and a picnic space with benches, so folks have places to sit and talk or watch the trees. The property offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments that're affordable for very low, low, and moderate-income households, and each unit comes with gas heat, an air conditioner, a refrigerator, and on-site laundry, plus plank or laminate flooring in some of the apartments and free sewer, heat, and hot water included, which can be helpful for people on a fixed income. The building has an elevator for easy access, controlled entrance for security, an intercom in each unit, and 24-hour emergency maintenance, while the management team-including the community manager, Alice John-works on site to help with questions or problems.
AHEPA has a swimming pool and a fitness center so residents can stay active if they want and also has a weekly transportation service scheduled to nearby stores, banks, and even the Senior Center, but if you prefer to walk, Main Street is just two blocks away with shops, groceries, and churches or synagogues close by. The building's laundry center is handy and there's a parking lot for those who drive, while features like the elevator and accessible layouts make it easier for people with mobility issues to get around. If someone's wondering about applying, AHEPA works as part of the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs as an approved Affordable Housing Administrative Agent, and applications for apartments are available in different languages if needed. There's an online system where people can find out about waitlists, rental or home ownership options, and check the status of their application whenever they like. Managed by Conifer Realty LLC, AHEPA first opened in 2002, has 56 apartments, and the leasing terms are standard twelve months with a security deposit equal to one month's rent, so folks can expect a straightforward process.
There's no staff for medical or daily care mentioned, but the focus is on offering safe, pleasant, and affordable apartments for independent seniors looking for a convenient, welcoming place to live, and with things like utilities included, a clubhouse for gatherings, and scheduled transportation, many essential needs are covered.
