Houston Heights Tower sits at 330 W 19th Street in Houston, Texas, and is a senior living community that's been around since 1972, with the current building opening in 1975, and it has eight stories and a total of 223 unfurnished units, with a good amount of apartment choices like studios and apartments with one, two, three, even four or five bedrooms, along with townhomes, all for people aged 62 or older or those who have mobility challenges, and there's elevator access, walk-in closets, ceiling fans, wall-to-wall carpet, and kitchens with dishwashers, garbage disposals, frost-free refrigerators, and pantries, plus units have mini blinds, stainless steel appliances in many cases, alarm systems for safety, and fiber optic cable access so people can get high-speed internet if they want.
Folks here can bring their pets-dogs or cats-though there's a limit of one pet per apartment and up to two pets allowed overall, with some breed restrictions and a $300 pet deposit, and the place tries to be welcoming to people of any background, including all races, religions, and identities. The building has secured access and alarm systems, on-site parking, and emergency call systems, and there are smoke-free common areas, a manicured courtyard, and access gates for added security, and people can use the elevators, hang out in the spacious lobbies or lounges, or join activities and get to know each other in club rooms or the coffee club.
The community supports an active lifestyle with a fitness room, exercise equipment, and low-impact exercise classes, plus there are planned activities like bingo, arts and crafts, shopping trips, and a video club, and there's also a library if someone likes to read, and for laundry there are two coin-operated laundry rooms on-site, and the complex includes utilities in the rent, covering water, electric, gas, and cable. People who need extra help can get assisted living services, Alzheimer's care, rehabilitation, memory care, home care, and hospice care, though the details about these services aren't spelled out, so that's something folks would need to ask about, but the general idea is that the Housing Corporation of Greater Houston, which manages the place, tries to cover several stages of aging, including support for independent living and ongoing care. For anyone wanting to look before moving, they've got virtual tours, and anyone thinking about moving in can check the place weekdays from 9 AM to 6 PM. The building and grounds feel community-oriented, with lovely manicured spaces, and they try to foster friendship and togetherness among neighbors.
