Senior Housing, Highland Park Senior Apartments

Highland Park Senior Apartments, opened in 2016 with 77 units in a renovated public school building. The building was constructed in 1909 and served as Highland Park Public School. In the early 1990s, the high school was converted into a three-story senior apartment building. Renamed Brookland Park Plaza, the building functioned as a senior living community for many years before being sold in 2006.

Highland Park is the first piece of RRHA’s plan to re-house the Fay Towers tenants, as well as a broader neighborhood development effort to revitalize the Highland Park commercial corridor and connect senior residents to available—but often untapped—local resources.
