Diamond Senior Apartments of Princeton sits on 7.5 acres at 1000 Diamond Circle in Princeton, IL, and has 40 one-story apartments made for folks 55 and older, including accessible units for those who need them. The place offers both one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments, and every unit comes with a washer and dryer, a full kitchen with stove, oven, fridge, microwave, and dishwasher, plus walk-in showers with built-in seats, and each unit has either a patio, deck, or balcony, which can be nice when you want some fresh air or a quiet spot to sit. Residents pay rent that includes water, sewer, and trash, and the apartments fall under the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program, so income limits apply, and some tenants use Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, but there aren't any project-based subsidies, so you'd need to meet certain income rules or have your own voucher.
The apartments are managed by Apartmentsmart out of Salisbury, Maryland, and they offer things like a community clubhouse with a great room, fitness center, library, and even an outdoor patio and a walking path for exercise or a stroll. Safety matters here too, with security features like home security systems, medication dispensers, and medical alert systems from brands such as Medical Guardian, Bay Alarm Medical, and ADT Medical Alert, plus support for aging in place, including home care and caregiver support services. The staff and services are designed to support independent living, but there's help for daily tasks like bathing, dressing, and medicine management if needed, and there may also be memory care for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia, though specifics would come from talking to the community itself or checking its website. The whole place is made with seniors in mind, focusing on easy comfort and independence while making sure there are ways to stay safe and active, and with a short or sometimes no waiting list, it can be a practical option for people looking for straightforward senior living.
