Collingwood Green sits on a 7.5-acre park land in Toledo, Ohio, not too far from the Collingwood Arts Center and Mercy St. Vincent Medical Center, and you've got this facility with three phases covering different living needs-Phase I has 65 one- and two-bedroom garden-style apartments for people 55 years or older, with 33 set aside as public housing, all smoke-free and pet-friendly, with things like central heat and air, emergency pull cords, elevator access, and kitchens with appliances and energy-saving features, while upstairs closets give extra room and you'll find indoor and outdoor gathering spots, lounges, a big community room, laundry areas, and even a fitness center all in Phase I. Phase II adds 68 family townhomes with two or three bedrooms-34 of them for public housing-and then Phase III means 55 more family townhomes newly built with two, three, or four bedrooms, bringing together residents in safe, affordable homes whether you're older or a younger family starting out, all with equal housing opportunities.
The grounds are cut neat and lined with plenty of outdoor spaces, like a gazebo and shaded common areas, so folks can sit, chat, or enjoy some fresh air, and if you want to keep busy indoors, there's a library, business center, and media room, plus you can use lounges and a community room right on the main floor in the main building. There's parking, and you can have a dog or cat join you. Homes come with good-sized closets, intercom systems, central heat and air for comfort, and energy-efficient appliances. Maintenance and management are both on-site during weekday office hours, and building access is easy for those who need elevators or other support.
Collingwood Green, managed by Lucas Metropolitan Housing Authority and part of the Lucas Housing Services Corporation, spreads out its apartments and townhomes through public housing, income-based, and private-pay options, making it affordable for more people. The community keeps things smoke-free for seniors, welcomes pets, and doesn't turn away anyone based on things like race, religion, disability, or family status, following equal housing rules. Folks can join senior programs, seek out volunteer chances, hear from speakers, and find help with housing or transportation searches through connections to the Area Office on Aging. Office staff are around Monday through Friday during regular business hours, and you can always reach out online if you want to know more, set up a visit, or get help with forms and services.
