This is a senior apartment, which is a housing option for older adults (typically 55+ or 62+) that offers independent living with minimal services, resembling a regular apartment but with senior-friendly features. In contrast, an independent living facility provides a more community-oriented setting with amenities such as housekeeping, dining, social activities, and transportation. While both cater to independent seniors, independent living facilities offer more services and conveniences, making them a better fit for those seeking a maintenance-free lifestyle, whereas senior apartments are a more affordable, no-frills option.
