The Atlantic at Brook Run is a senior living community that gives older adults with limited income a place to live that's affordable and comfortable, and it does this by following Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity rules, making sure everyone gets treated the same no matter their background. Folks who want to move in have to go through an application process with a non-refundable fee between $25 and $50, and they'll need to show things like their ID, Social Security Card, proof of income, bank statements, and give references, and the place usually asks that residents meet certain income and age limits because it's part of a program that keeps rent at about 30% of a person's monthly income thanks to low income housing tax credits, which really helps people keep living costs low.
People can pick from one- or two-bedroom apartments that have big windows for sunlight, fully equipped kitchens, cable-ready setups, and they're all smoke-free, plus some spots welcome small pets as long as they meet size rules, and there are wheelchair-accessible units for those who need them. The building itself is multi-story with pretty landscaped grounds, and outside, there are patio areas, shaded gazebos, seating, and even swings where folks can relax and enjoy the fresh air. Inside, you get a billiards lounge, art studio, cozy library with a fireplace, computer room, clubhouse, business center, beauty salon, and plenty of common areas, community rooms, a craft room, and resident lounges.
The fitness center stays open all the time, there's on-site laundry day or night, surface parking is available, and the building stays gated with 24-hour access for peace of mind. Apartments come with things to make people comfortable like private entries, entertainment centers, seating, bedrooms with Asian-inspired touches, and bathrooms with decorative touches and handy storage. The community supports different care needs; services include assisted living, independent living, memory care for people with Alzheimer's, home health, home care for those who want companionship, adult day care, and even some rehab and nursing options. Staff can help with things like medication management and everyday living, so people get care that's right for them without giving up independence.
Extras like the library of resources, educational articles, events, and support programs come through partners like VirginiaNavigator, disAbilityNavigator, SeniorNavigator, VeteransNavigator, and the Lindsay Institute, and for veterans, there are resources to help with jobs, health, housing, and more, while dedicated programs cover everything from community life and finances to transportation and legal needs. The grounds are landscaped and there's plenty of space to sit with friends in the lounge or relax in the sun by the swings, and things like maintenance-free apartments, reliable transportation, and pet-friendly policies mean life stays manageable and social, whether someone wants to be active or just have some peace and quiet. The Atlantic at Brook Run tries to keep things simple, safe, and comfortable for seniors who want an affordable place to live with options for daily help if they need it.
