The Pinemont Apartments sit in the Near Northwest District of Houston, Texas, and offer senior apartments for those 62 and older or adults over 18 with a disabling condition who need special accommodations. The community fills up fast, with studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments, and folks often wait up to five years or longer for a unit, though sometimes studios open up sooner. The apartments themselves have private patios with storage, in-sink garbage disposals, cable hookups, and each building's got an elevator, laundry facilities, and access-controlled gates for security, plus there are beautiful garden patios and spots for vegetable gardening if you like that. This is HUD-subsidized housing, so rent's based on 30% of your adjusted gross income, but residents do pay for their own electricity and phone, and there are no services like meals, housekeeping, or nursing care, so it's housing only, and not assisted living.
There's a community room where people can read, watch the big TV, join in for Bingo days, Picnic Day, or the ever-popular glazed spiral ham day, and there's a library, computer access, and even a community calendar so everyone knows about things like pest control visits, trash pickup days, or building inspections. The management team, backed by a Board of Directors, keeps everything running smoothly, and folks say the staff's friendly and quick to help with whatever's needed. The Pinemont Apartments have a 3.0-star "Very Good" rating and get an 8.2 out of 10 from community reviews that are checked by a third party, so you know they come from real people.
For folks with physical disabilities, some units are specially modified and, while these tend to have longer waits, they do make a big difference for those who need them. Pinemont is a non-smoking place and offers valet garbage pick-up twice a week. There's no direct care, but for those who want, their network can help families find assisted living, memory care, nursing homes, or in-home care nearby, along with answers about pricing or availability if you call the office. Moving in takes some paperwork-like citizenship proof, Social Security card, ID, and proof of income. The place is known for being peaceful and comfortable, and while it doesn't offer hands-on care or meal service, it gives seniors and disabled people a safe, affordable community with plenty of activity options and friendly neighbors.
