Hickory Hollow Senior Apartments sits at 3930 Allenbrooke Cv in Memphis, TN, and the place has a comfortable setup for people 55 and older who need affordable housing, sometimes with immediate availability or a short wait, depending on what you find when you check with the office, and it's one of those newer properties built in the late 1980s, so the units run a bit larger and offer more amenities than some of the older spots folks may remember. This is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit property, which means the building got subsidies to help with construction back in the day, but there's no project-based rent help, so renters do need to pay full rent or use a voucher-Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers are accepted here, and the property's got to accept them by law since it's under LIHTC rules. You can find studio and one-bedroom apartments, all set aside for seniors or folks with disabilities earning up to 60% of the Area Median Income, and the rent pricing starts on the lower side, which might work for those on a fixed budget or using a housing voucher.
The community has 55 apartments, designed to be pretty accessible and offer convenience, and you'll notice they've tried to make things easier for seniors by including things like a community room, a kitchen for group meals or activities, three laundry facilities so the wait shouldn't be too bad, a fitness room for those who want to keep moving, and a library for some quiet time. There's a mix of people living here, and the staff tends to get described as helpful and kind, which matters a lot to folks who appreciate a friendly face when they need help. The community works under Fair Housing & Equal Opportunity rules, so protections are in place to make sure everyone gets treated fairly, no matter their background or income source, and the place does tend to attract a diverse group, thanks to the neighborhood and the policies.
As for living here, the community tries to make things comfortable and welcoming, with activities taking place and a focus on helping folks stay engaged with each other and with the world, whether through social events, meals prepared in the kitchen with attention to nutrition, or support for daily living if you need it, since they're set up for independent living, assisted living, and memory care as needed. The management by National Church Residences helps keep things running smoothly, and while you don't get fancy extras like pools, barbecue areas, or a long list of outdoor amenities, the basics are covered well and the environment is peaceful, which encourages neighbors to get to know each other and keeps things calm, and that seems to suit the people who live here.
The rental process does ask for some paperwork-things like ID, proof of income, bank statements, some references, and usually a small application fee that you won't get back, plus credit and background checks so they can make sure everyone's a good fit. It's a straightforward option for low-income seniors, folks using Section 8, or those who can meet the income requirements and want a safe, friendly apartment that doesn't overload you with extras but covers what you need. Hickory Hollow Senior Apartments falls within a network of similar communities, like King's Reserve Memphis and The Elevation at Autumn Ridge, and reviews from residents and families tend to be positive, with people noticing the clean setting, the activities, and the support they get from staff who try to keep residents healthy and connected. You get what you need and a sense of community, without a lot of fuss.
