Union Manor sits at 5211 Calvert St in the College View neighborhood of Lincoln, Nebraska, and was built in 1985, so it's been around a long while offering 56 one-bedroom apartments across its 28,224 square feet of living space, focusing on affordable and supportive senior housing for those who are at least 62 years old, with income limits set by HUD under the Section 8 program, making it easier for seniors living on a fixed income to have a place to call home since residents generally pay about 30% of their monthly income for rent. The building is designed for comfort and accessibility, with elevators, smoke detectors, fire alarms, and units that are suitable for seniors of all mobility levels, and it's pet-friendly while maintaining a smoke-free atmosphere for better health. There's on-site mail delivery to make things easier, plus well-maintained common areas and pretty landscaped grounds that can make for some nice walks or quiet time, though there's no detailed list of outdoor features. Amenities like washers and dryers, air conditioning, hot tubs or spas, barbecue areas, and even access to pools, patios, and fitness centers show up as available in the broader Lincoln rental market, and the neighborhood includes options for townhomes, single-family homes, and condos, though Union Manor itself lists its units as apartments.
Union Manor offers several supportive and healthcare services, including assisted living for those who need help with daily tasks like bathing or medication, respite care for short-term needs, rehabilitation services, memory care, diabetic care, and incontinence management, and also offers independent living for more active seniors who want some help but still value their freedom. Staff are available to provide meals and dining options with nutritious food, and they run social activities and devotional events both on-site and off the property, hoping to build a strong community feel among residents. The facility makes safety a top priority, and being part of a region protected against housing discrimination based on orientation and gender identity means everyone should feel welcome. Union Manor makes it clear they don't publish all details about utilities, parking, or interior floor features, but do provide elevators for easy apartment access and at least one or more fully accessible units. The building doesn't allow smoking, and the community provides a quiet, comfortable place to live for older adults needing different levels of support, from full care to those just looking for a safe and pleasant retirement setting. The community also keeps an educational side, offering online resources and articles covering topics like water use, estate planning, and senior advocacy, plus a website that helps families explore options, check maps, find information about income-qualified apartments, and contact the facility directly with questions about policies, lease terms, and specific needs. Union Manor is not for sale or currently renting through major listings, but it remains a steady option in the Lincoln senior housing scene for those who meet the age and income guidelines and need an affordable, stable home.
