Hillcrest Senior Living Residence

The Hillcrest Senior Living Residence is a significant project located in the East Washington D.C. area, addressing a critical need for senior housing options within the community. This project comprises 112 senior living units, along with essential amenities such as cafeterias, public kitchens, and underground garages. However, what sets Hillcrest apart is its unique vision and approach.

Unlike conventional senior living facilities that tend to be situated in quieter, remote locations, Hillcrest Senior Living Residence is designed to foster a sense of connection and inclusivity within the local community. The main facade of the building faces the main street, emphasizing its integration with the neighborhood. A rooftop terrace offers panoramic views of the U.S. capital and other landmarks, providing residents with a picturesque setting for relaxation and social interaction.

Furthermore, the project prioritizes accessibility and convenience for senior residents. It features no barricade access to the main street bus stop and a backside alley parking drop-off area, ensuring that residents can easily access the community green space and even the downtown area. This approach is aimed at enriching the retiree's quality of life, promoting social connections, and avoiding unintentional aging segregation. Hillcrest Senior Living Residence stands as a testament to the importance of creating vibrant, multi-generational, and aging-friendly communities that benefit both senior residents and the broader neighborhood.
