New Accessible Senior Living!
by David Hadlich
A new accessible senior community has opened on the East Side of
St. Paul. Parkway Gardens, located just north of 94 at 1145 Hudson
Road, opened in July, and had an open house on Saturday, August 28.
With a total of 160 one and two bedroom units, all with either walk-in
or roll-in showers, Parkway Gardens is also filled with amenities.
From the warm and inviting lobby, to the heated, underground parking,
the secure building is very nicely finished.
Each of the four floors
boasts two common rooms for gatherings, a laundry room, and extra
storage. There are two elevators to service the building, and the
entryways have security cameras. Other extras include a billiard
room, an exercise room, a sewing room, a beauty shop, and a large
party room in the first level for large gatherings. There is a protected
courtyard in the center of the complex, and the nearby neighborhood
is a great place for walking. Heat, water and trash are all included
in the rent, and each unit also has a dishwasher.
As the complex
begins to fill up, there will be two caretakers, and full time maintenance
on site, as well as a general manager and assistant manager. Coffee
is available every morning, and activities are planned often. 17
units have already been rented, and ten more applications are pending.
Parkway Gardens is a Section 42 housing complex. Income limits apply,
and rent is based on a sliding scale. For a couple having an annual
income of $30,800, rent for a one bedroom would come to $510.00/month.
