Seniors can now lease apartments in the new housing complex Arrowhead Gardens to move in late this summer.

The campus has three residential buildings available to seniors. Bill Fenner, Executive Director of Senior Housing Assistance Group, describes the complex as an urban village.

"We're looking for a neighborhood feel, where people can be as active or inactive as they want," says Fenner.

Fenner is also enthusiastic about Aarowhead's many shared spaces, including a community building with a lounge, library, media center and exercise room. The campus also includes several courtyards, roof decks and "pea patch" planter boxes.

"The landscaping at Aarowhead is going to better than what we've had in a lot of other communities," says Fenner.

Some units offer views of the Cascade Mountains and the Seattle's skyline.

The community also offers transit vans and electric cars for local transportation.

Aarowhead Gardens is located in Highland Park and has convenient access to freeways and major retail centers.

One-bedroom units range from $680 to $874 while two-bedroom apartments cost between $857 to $1040. Some utilities, including water and garbage, are paid by owner.

To qualify for senior housing residents must be at least 61 years old or 55 years-old with a disability by the end of 2009 and earn at least 50 percent of the area's median gross income: $28,500 for a one person household or $32,550 for a two person.
