Marywood Apartments sits at 1261 Marywood Ln #1 in Henrico, Virginia, tucked in a wooded area in Richmond's West End and offers nice mountain views, and you'll find it close to Gayton Road with a designated sign right out front. This is an independent living community for seniors aged 62 and older, as well as people with physical disabilities, and it was built in 1983, so it's been around a while and is well-established. The property has 112 apartments, including five made specifically for people who have mobility challenges, and it's set up for low to moderate income residents, so you won't feel out of place if you're on a budget or need a certain kind of living space. Most of the units have one bedroom and one bathroom, but there are some floor plan choices, with both one-bedroom and two-bedroom options, and it's always good to ask what's available since leases aren't posted publicly.
The buildings have levels and offer accessibility between stories, which makes it easier for residents using wheelchairs or needing a little extra help, and while there's not much information about parking, you will find outdoor spaces, tables, and even a small library with a table. Residents lead some activities, whether it's exercise classes, Bible studies, or clubs to talk about current events, so folks who like to volunteer or get involved have plenty of ways to do so. The staff organizes social events and offers weekend on-call services, which helps people feel safe and supported most days of the week. Residents also have access to transportation services, which is helpful for running errands, getting to appointments, or joining in on group outings.
There aren't many listed outdoor amenities, though the mountain views and wooded surroundings give people a nice place to walk or just sit outside. The apartments focus on providing comfort and independence, and the community puts a strong emphasis on fair housing, with protections in place under federal law for orientation and gender identity. There's no published price list, but services and amenities are designed with senior care in mind, and people can get information about care types like assisted living, memory care, or even in-home care in the nearby area if they need them. The site carries a community score of 9.5, is verified, and holds a promise to use only reviewed, human-curated feedback. Marywood Apartments describes itself as a welcoming and accessible place where folks can enjoy privacy, take part in the community, and stay independent as long as they wish.
