Hershey Plaza Apartments

Hershey Plaza Apartments is an older apartment community at 215 W Chocolate Ave in Hershey, Pennsylvania, built back in 1978 and having 215 one- and two-bedroom apartments set up for people who are 62 and older or who have disabilities, and the place lets you keep pets, as long as they're not dogs over 50 pounds and you pay a deposit. The community sits near the main attractions in Hershey, so you can get to Hersheypark, Chocolate World, shopping, and dining without trouble, and it's also close to the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center, with bus stops close by too. You'll find some basic comforts like recently renovated spaces, central heating and air, cable readiness, and all the usual appliances like an electric oven and stove, plus private balconies or patios, generous cabinets and storage space, and each floor has two elevators for getting around. The place offers services that go from help with daily activities to assisted living, home care, and memory care, and the staff are on hand from eight in the morning to five in the evening, Monday through Friday, with emergency pull cords in the apartments and 24-hour emergency maintenance available if anything breaks. There's a community room with a kitchen for gatherings, an activity room, a dog park, landscaped courtyards, updated outdoor spaces, and a controlled access entrance, while laundry is handled on-site and the utilities are all included in your rent. You'll also have access to a medical pull cord system for emergencies, and the grounds are kept up by professionals. The place doesn't have its own parking, but Chocolate World parking isn't far away. The apartments are managed by the Senior Citizens' Council of Derry Township, Inc., and come with legal protections for LGBTQ residents and others. The community is the third highest rated out of three in Hershey, with a review score of 6.2 out of 10, so most people seem to find it good but maybe not the best. The website has more details, including floor plans, rent data, occupancy rates, and sales history, and the apartments focus on providing comfort and convenience for people who want to live independently but might also need some extra help now and again.
