Senior City

The housing stock for New York’s elderly is suddenly far less bleak.
KAYLA LEVY
Senior City

The city has grown old. More specifically, 1.2 million New Yorkers are now over the age of 65, a senior population that has gone up by nearly 30 percent in the past decade. This is an increasingly diverse group with a wide array of needs and preferences when it comes to where to live: About half of seniors speak one of 90 languages other than English at home, a quarter have advanced degrees, and thousands are part of the LGBTQ community.

Fortunately, new housing options have begun to proliferate over the past few years. On one hand, a plethora of very high-end assisted-living apartment buildings have emerged to serve the wealthiest of aging boomers. These places tend to eschew beige meals and snoozy game nights for page-long seasonal menus, classes led by Columbia professors, and marble-and-teak spas. (All of this comes at a commensurately steep price—independent studios at the Watermark at Brooklyn Heights start at $5,495 per month, while memory-care and assisted-living options balloon to more than $20,000 per month.)
