Whittier Towers, managed by Thomas Safran & Associates, sits in the heart of Uptown Whittier, close to restaurants, shopping, and movie theaters, so it's easy for people who like to get out, but they've got a good amount to do right at home, too. This affordable senior housing community is for folks 62 and over, with 156 private studio and one-bedroom apartments, all with wall-to-wall carpet, air conditioning, and cable TV ready, so no one's left too warm, too cold, or bored. The building welcomes people using Section 8 vouchers and has a Section 8/Tax Credit community designation, plus some utilities are included in the rent, which helps with budgeting for many residents. Parking's available for those who still drive, and controlled access with a video surveillance system provides a bit of peace of mind.
The building has an elevator for easy access to every floor, and there's laundry facilities, a game room, a library, and a resident lounge, so people can hold onto their independence but not feel alone. There's a fully remodeled community room that comes with a kitchen and a large-screen television, a pool table, and even a gym, which means there's always something to keep busy with or someone to talk to. Classes and activities are popular around here, so monthly parties, bingo, ESL classes, Tai Chi, line dancing, and a walking group give people options without having to leave home. For added comfort, the units are newly renovated, which makes things feel fresh without being flashy.
Onsite management and full-time maintenance staff keep an eye on things and sort out repairs, while 24-hour management services mean there's always someone around. Whittier Towers offers a sense of comfort for people who like the freedom of their own apartment but want some services related to care and assistance if they ever need it, making it a good fit for seniors who want affordable living with several amenities and programs close by.
