The Woods at Playa Vista

The Woods at Playa Vista sits at 12481 W Fielding Cir in Playa Vista, Los Angeles, and is an apartment community made for people 62 and older, and before getting too excited, remember there's often a years-long waitlist for its 83 one- and two-bedroom low-income apartments, and those rents are usually about 30% of your income but may still be out of reach for some. The buildings are part of a tax credit program with rent and income limits based on the area's median income, and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) helps support the property. The property focuses on care for its residents with specialized options for things like diabetic and incontinence care, non-ambulatory care, and has staff onsite for both management and maintenance needs. Residents get meals every day through provided dining services, and there's a calendar with both on-site and off-site activities-some even devotional in nature. There's no information on pets or interior details inside the units, but it's clear no pets are allowed. The community itself has secured entry with an intercom, indoor common areas, laundry rooms, a fitness center, spa, barbecue spot, a computer room, gardens with outdoor lounge areas, and a big community room. Details about parking, utilities, and policies aren't known. People here also have access to many Playa Vista community spaces like clubs, parks, a library, movies, shopping, and a shuttle, though what "special names" are used for some programs isn't listed anywhere. Nothing's currently available for rent or sale, but those interested can try to contact the apartments directly about availability, openings, or to get on the waitlist. The property comes with protections for people based on gender identity, orientation, and source of income, following fair housing laws. The Woods at Playa Vista isn't fancy, but it does have a number of comforts and some thoughtful care and activity options, all within a quiet senior apartment setting.
