Sandston Plateau Senior Apartments sit near Richmond International Airport in Sandston, VA, about twenty minutes from Virginia's state capital, and the place itself is a three-story highrise tucked in a peaceful spot, mainly for adults aged 55 or 62 and better who want to live independently but with a strong sense of safety and community, so you'll find one- and two-bedroom garden-style apartments, each with wall-to-wall carpeting, a fully equipped kitchen including a range, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, central air, cable readiness, and emergency pull cords in case you need help, plus some units have balconies or patios where you can sit outside, and pets are welcome, which means you can bring a furry friend along. There's controlled building access, a laundry facility, elevators, a media room, a café, two libraries, a card and game room, and patios as well, so there's plenty of common space to see friends, read, or join in. Residents can take part in activities like bingo, card nights, board games, chess games, potlucks, gardening clubs, and Bible study groups, as well as outreach programs, and there are entertainment rooms for parties if you like marking a birthday or a special event.
Sandston Plateau is part of a federal Low Income Housing Tax Credit program, providing affordable rent to older adults who meet specific income and age requirements, often setting rent at about 30% of adjusted income, or a fixed rate if not income-based, so it suits those looking for more manageable monthly costs, and applying means you'll need a government-issued ID, Social Security card, bank statements, proof of income, and credit, along with a small application fee, and folks should expect credit and criminal background checks as part of moving in. Every unit has an emergency call system for safety, and the onsite staff is present 24 hours to handle maintenance or give help, which can be reassuring, especially if you want to know someone's nearby, and the staff here's known to be kind and helpful, keeping things running smoothly and making new folks feel welcome. The facility keeps things simple for active, independent seniors, but there's some support available if you eventually need a little help, such as home care, memory care for those with dementia, or assistance with personal care in residential homes. The community offers nutritious meals, transport and parking options, social spaces, and handy resources like educational guides, articles, and a massive directory of local and national senior programs for health, housing, legal matters, and more, often available through websites like VirginiaNavigator and SeniorNavigator, with special sections for caregivers and veterans too, so there are resources if you need help with long-term care, legal planning, or just want to find something to do nearby. Sandston Plateau Senior Apartments aim to create a safe, comfortable place for older adults to live independently, stay active, build friendships, and take advantage of resources, with a focus on dignity, simplicity, and keeping life as worry-free as possible.
