Lakeside Towers sits in Kenosha, Wisconsin, right near Lake Michigan and downtown, tucked into the Kenosha - north submarket, part of the Suburban Chicago area, so you'd only need a short walk to reach a Kenosha Transit bus stop or enjoy walking, biking, or beach time at Eichelman Park. Built in 1980, the building stands six stories tall and has 98,280 square feet, with 182 one-bedroom apartments designed for income-eligible seniors aged 62 and older or adults with disabilities. The apartments come with accessible bathrooms fitted with grab bars, kitchens with stoves and refrigerators, and include heat and water in the rent, which is set based on income and gets determined by annual gross income and household size, and there are limits for eligibility, like $14,300 a year for one adult or $16,350 for two adults, with all applicants going through checks on credit, rental history, and background.
Residents have access to a good range of services and simple comforts, including laundry rooms, washers and dryers, weekly bookmobile visits, a community room, exercise equipment, housekeepers, and regular maintenance. Safety's a focus, too, with locked entries, handrails, accessible design, and a sprinkler system throughout the property. Anyone wanting to get out or socialize will find a social calendar full of bingo, dominos, karaoke, outings, guest speakers, plus arts and crafts, education programs, and a regular selection of games, exercise classes three times a week that are meant for seniors, and more, which helps people stay busy and connect. The building also has cable TV, high-speed internet/wifi, a dining room, a fitness center, on-site beauty salon and barbershop, guest parking, and offers meal services with a nutrition focus, Schwans Home Food Delivery, monthly blood pressure checks, and even personal care services like a personal care assistant, laundry and dry cleaning options, walking and wheelchair help, and transportation. Kitchens and kitchenettes are available in units for those who want to cook, and there's also a meal program. The setting feels like a neighborhood, with guest parking and outdoor areas nearby.
The apartments suit people who want independent living but sometimes need a bit of help, and the management company, Orput Companies, and the contact there, Peggy Nunemaker, oversee the property and its programs, with management and ownership details kept updated in Yardi Matrix reports. Detailed information exists about occupancy rates, rental history, property value, market performance, and the types of apartments, all tracked for those who want to understand the place better. Lakeside Towers gives people an affordable housing choice that balances privacy with community, along with activities, security, and practical support, set in a location close to both nature and city features.
