    Modern renovated facility, waitlist issues

    I give this senior living facility 4/5. The place is renovated, modern, beautiful and very clean, utilities (AC/heating, water, garbage) are included, but there's a long waiting list and I've noticed staff who were previously friendly have been less helpful since Eden Housing purchased the property.

    About Cambrian Center

    Cambrian Center is an affordable senior high-rise community that sits in a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood with sidewalks where stores, restaurants, schools, and shops are nearby, and you've got easy access to public transit and medical offices which makes errands and getting around simpler, and families like the friendly feel of the area. Built in 1981, Cambrian Center has 153 units, with apartments for seniors 62 and older, and adults with disabilities who are 18 and up, and the units range in size from 300 to 511 square feet, all of them have a bath, stove, refrigerator, window coverings, and air conditioning, plus most have carpet, some offer decks, balconies, patios, garbage disposals, high-speed internet, and the rent includes water, garbage, heat, and electric, while residents pay for their own cable and internet. You'll find features like a community room for gatherings, a library, a game room for recreation, on-site laundry, elevators, assigned off-road parking, and new landscaping with gardens, so there's a few places for activities or just relaxing, and they've also added a new metal canopy between buildings to help with shade and weather, and made visual and structural upgrades to make things easier for those using wheelchairs or with other needs. Cambrian Center keeps up with green efforts like solar thermal hot water, improved gardens, and seismic upgrades for safety, and allows small pets under 25 pounds with a deposit, which makes it more comfortable for people who like animals around, but co-signers aren't accepted, and the wait list is currently closed, and there's a maximum income limit for those who want to live here, but there's no minimum income required. The place is managed by Eden Housing Management, Inc., and the community doesn't charge a credit check fee, but asks for a deposit equal to one month's rent, and in total, this is a straightforward, easy-living choice, mainly for seniors or disabled adults, where the goal is safe, accessible, and affordable living without a lot of fuss, and you'll find what you need for daily life and some extras to help people stay involved and comfortable.
