Becher Terrace Apartments sits on 1800 W Becher St in Milwaukee, right in the Muskego Way neighborhood, and lets older adults, especially those 55 and older, live on their own but still have help nearby if they need it, and the place has a quiet setting with tree-lined streets but is just blocks from historic Mitchell Street if you want to get out and about. The apartments come in one- and two-bedroom layouts, with kitchenettes and full kitchens right in the unit, and many have attached balconies or patios so people can sit outside when the weather's nice. Some apartments have recently been fixed up inside, so things are looking fresh, and every unit gets a dedicated storage spot, which is handy for keeping extra things you might not need all the time. Residents get water, sewer, trash, and heating included in the rent, and the building has laundry rooms on every floor, which folks find useful, plus apartments are smoke-free and you can have dogs and cats if you want. There's even a pet park on the grounds for anyone with a furry friend, and security cameras are up for added safety.
Meals get made for residents using organic ingredients and served in a private dining room, and there's a country store right in the community for picking up a few things without leaving home. The complex features a library for quiet time, a computer area, a fitness room, and a community room for gathering, plus staff set up regular activities and outings to help people meet their neighbors and stay busy if they choose. Housekeeping and linen services are part of the day-to-day help, and the 24-hour call system gives peace of mind if something comes up at any hour. If anyone needs a ride or help getting somewhere, transportation is available with devoted staff to give a hand when needed. The building's elevators and doorways are wide enough for easy access, and on-site parking is here for daily use, with underground parking available for an extra cost. The apartments and the community offer a safe and calm place where seniors can stay engaged but still live in their own space, with legal protections in place against housing and employment discrimination no matter your orientation, gender identity, or income source, and it's managed by Horizon Property Management Services, who keep things steady and organized.
