The Kensington Senior Residences is designed for independent seniors age 55 and older. The building specifically addresses the physical and social needs of the active elderly. It offers a blend of carefree living along with the convenient location proximity to many points of interest of and optional services.
The Kensington Senior Residences is a 3-story, 74-unit building located conveniently across from Randhurst Village mall, a large shopping center and entertainment complex. It is also nearby the Rand Road corridor within a thriving community that contains access to main street amenities.
Because The Kensington Senior Residences participates in HUD's HOME program for rental housing and the LIHTC program, at least some of the units in this property are set aside for households earning 60% or less of the AMI and rents are capped at the local FMR and in many cases much lower. For a HOME project of this size, some of the units are set aside for households at or below 50% AMI with a corresponding lower rent cap. As this property appears not to have a project-based subsidy or any other Federal assistance, you likely will have to pay your own rent, albeit, at a lower rent amount thanks to the HOME and LIHTC programs. Since this property participates in the HOME and LIHTC programs, the property is required to accept Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers.
