A new apartment complex for seniors, over 55, opened last month at 7447 N. Wayside Drive, near the corner of Ley Road.

The development consists of several hundred apartment units, with one and two bedroom units priced from $529 to $699. The project is seen as a sign of economic recovery, according to City Councilman Jarvis Johnson, who was present for the ribbon cutting on June 10th, along with Rick Simmons of the Integrated Real Estate Group, the developer, and Gilbert Gerst of JP Morgan Chase, the lender.

Johnson recognized the developer for bringing affordable, high quality senior living to the Settegast Community of Houston. He said that this is the first investment of its kind in this area, bringing a gated community where seniors can enjoy the peace of mind of a truly secure environment, maintained and operated by a professional staff.

Integrated Real Estate Group worked with Mt. Canaan Baptist Church, the City of Houston, and JP Morgan Chase to bring about the development.

The living units have the following amenities: one bedroom units are 775 sq. feet in size, and two bedroom, two bath units are 1,039 sq. feet.

Units include large walk-in closets, fully equipped kitchens with appliances, ceiling fans, washer and dryer in each unit, and where required, handicapped facilities.

The exterior facilities include a gated community, elevators for the three story buildings, clubhouse with beauty salon/barbershop, fitness center designed for active seniors, gazebo with cooking and picnic facilities, community garden, some covered parking, and more.
