Higgins Plaza sits at 1380 Detroit Street in a quiet neighborhood called Congress Park, just ten minutes from downtown Denver and two blocks from bus routes, so getting in and out is simple, especially because there are two nearby transportation options; you'll find restaurants up on Colfax Avenue, and places like the Tattered Cover bookstore close by, which is nice for people who like to wander out or meet friends for coffee since there are eight cafes, and if somebody likes parks there are ten parks close where you can get some fresh air and maybe a bit of sun. The building offers 90 one-bedroom apartments spread across seven stories-these homes are made for seniors over 62 and people with disabilities who need accessible apartments, and the whole place is smoke-free, so no common areas or apartments will ever have smoke drifting through, which keeps the air fresher for everyone. The community follows HUD guidelines, making housing affordable with income-based rent and Section 8 qualifications, which is a big relief to those who can't find something they can afford in most places. Higgins Plaza is operated by Catholic Charities Housing and there's both assisted living and independent living mentioned, along with skilled nursing and memory care, so no matter what kind of support you need, you're not likely to feel abandoned.
The building has controlled access for security, a fitness center, computer lab, laundry facilities, and an elevator to make getting around easier, and there's a community room, a library, and an outside patio where people gather and talk or just sit quietly with a book. The site is set up with recycling and off-street parking, and some reserved lot parking for those with cars. Pets are allowed if they're small and they meet certain guidelines, so you'll see a few furry friends here and there, but it's not overrun. The building also has staff on-site for management and maintenance, always available to help with repairs or questions, and there's a mix of apartment sizes, but each is mainly a one-bedroom, comfortable and well-kept, covering about 43,650 square feet across the property.
When it comes to other needs, three hospitals are close by for urgent or routine healthcare, there are eight doctors nearby, sixteen local pharmacies for medicine, and one place of worship within a short walk if you feel like going for spiritual support or services. Folks who need different food options will find about fifty restaurants nearby, and if theater is your thing, there are two places to see live shows close at hand. Higgins Plaza runs as service-enriched housing, especially suited for seniors and those with disabilities who need accessible features, with data available about things like rental history, occupancy rates, and unit sizes if you're the sort who likes to know all the details. The property's clean, well-managed, affordable, and calm, built for people who want to age in place comfortably without fuss or too much fancy business, just the basics done right.
