Westcott Terrace is a low-income senior apartment community focusing on residents aged 62 and older, and the place has 156 affordable homes in two buildings-one a former 1950s school and the other a nine-story building from 1983, both connected. The community is pet-friendly, though there are some rules about size and breed, and you'll find unassigned parking, elevators, air conditioning, wall-to-wall carpeting, and fully-applianced kitchens in the apartments, which are modern with spacious floor plans that fit many needs. There are safety features like fire alarms, smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, and at least one accessible unit for people with mobility needs. The apartments are non-smoking, and you won't have to worry much about laundry because there are washers, dryers, and a laundry service available. Housekeeping, maintenance, and personal care assistants are provided, along with transportation services for those who need help getting around.
Inside, you'll find a game room and community room where residents gather for weekly bingo and pool games, and there's a gazebo for some fresh air. The fitness center, salon, library, guest parking, and wifi help keep life comfortable. On-site mail delivery is offered, and a professional management team from the John M. Corcoran Company handles the day-to-day running of things, including a 24-hour emergency maintenance service if anything in your apartment needs fixing in a hurry. Meals are served in a dining room, and there are organized social activities, arts and crafts, education, health, and wellness programs, so people tend to stay busy and connected. Residents can use Section 8 (202) rental assistance, and rent is often based on about 30% of your monthly income, with housing available for those who qualify, and Westcott Terrace follows fair housing rules to serve a wide range of older adults. There's a focus on independent living, and the community offers some tools like the Olera Score and a Caregiver Tips section to help with decisions and staying informed. Tours and virtual visits are welcome if you're thinking about moving in. Access to major highways and T.F. Green Airport makes it easy for family or friends to come by.
