Senior Apartments (typical US range)
$900 - $2,500 per month (US market-rate, 2026)
Senior apartments are the most affordable senior-housing option because no services are bundled into the rent. Market-rate rents typically run $900-$2,500/month depending on city and apartment size. HUD-subsidized senior apartments cap rent at roughly 30% of the resident's monthly income, which can mean rents as low as $200-$400/month for qualifying low-income seniors. Medicare and Medicaid do not pay for senior apartments directly.
California's cost-of-living index is 151.7 (100 = US average). The median home price is around $505,000. Average rent runs about $1,503 a month. These local costs influence what you can expect to pay for care here.
Senior apartments fit active older adults who want lower-maintenance rental housing and a community of neighbors closer to their own age. They're a strong match for seniors downsizing from a larger home, for fixed-income retirees who need an affordable rental, and for couples where both partners are still independent. Many residents move in their late 60s or 70s and stay for years - sometimes transitioning to assisted living or memory care on a different campus later.
