National CORE’s new Hawthorne Heights community will provide 86 high-quality affordable homes for seniors ages 62 and older, marking the organization’s first new development in the city of Gainesville.
On Oct. 21, city and community leaders gathered in East Gainesville to break ground on the development, which will bring affordable homes for seniors earning between 22% and 60% of the area median income to a neighborhood that has historically lacked access to housing and services.
“Hawthorne Heights will provide more of Gainesville’s older residents with safe, stable housing in a supportive environment,” Mayor Harvey Ward said. “Affordable homes for seniors mean that people who helped build this city can continue to live here with dignity, security and access to the services they need.”
The five-story community will include 74 one-bedroom and 12 two-bedroom apartments, including five homes reserved for individuals with special needs. Each residence is thoughtfully designed with modern features, such as in-unit washer and dryer connections, stainless steel appliances and luxury vinyl tile flooring. Residents will also enjoy access to a community room, clubhouse, fitness center, business center, a covered terrace and two elevators.
