I can only hope that when the time comes and I require assisted care living, I have the option of staying somewhere like the Armstrong Place Senior Housing. Completely stylish with a retro twist, this unique retirement home isn't for your average elder, that's for sure.
Designed by David Baker + Partners, the Armstrong Place Senior Housing is located in San Francisco’s Bayview district. Conveniently developed with an adjacent row of family townhouses, these affordable residences ensure that seniors will not live in isolation. In addition to that heart-warming fact, the bold colors and playful design instill a sense of life in the structure that can often be missing in traditional old age homes.
Comprised of 116 apartments as well as 9,000 square feet of commercial space, community services and retail shops, the Armstrong Place Senior Housing seems to have it all.
