After three years of renovations, Park Village Apartments in Shelby has reopened its doors to the community. The affordable housing complex, which serves seniors and individuals with disabilities, proudly unveiled its newly updated facilities on Thursday. The renovation marks a significant milestone for the community, offering enhanced living conditions for its residents and bringing fresh energy to this vital housing resource in the Richland County area.
A Fresh Start for Residents
Originally built in 1976, Park Village Apartments underwent extensive upgrades to ensure that the needs of its aging and disabled residents are met with modern amenities and thoughtful design. The complex, which offers 128 rental units, provides affordable housing to individuals aged 62 and older, as well as to those with disabilities regardless of age.
The three-year project involved both interior and exterior improvements, enhancing the comfort and safety of the residents. Not only do the newly renovated apartments offer more functional living spaces, but the entire community now includes a range of features designed to promote well-being and connectivity among residents.
New Amenities to Enhance Quality of Life
One of the standout elements of the renovation is the addition of new community-focused amenities, making the complex more than just a place to live. Park Village now boasts:
- Improved Apartments: Each unit is designed for comfort, featuring updated kitchens, modern appliances, and spacious layouts that range from 750 to 1,000 square feet.
- Laundry Facility: A centralized laundry facility offers convenience to residents, removing the need for offsite trips for laundry.
- Fitness Room: The newly introduced fitness room encourages residents to maintain a healthy lifestyle, right in their own community.
- Arts & Crafts Area: To foster creativity and engagement, the arts and crafts room is perfect for hobbyists and those interested in hands-on activities.
- Walking Path & Community Gardens: Outdoor amenities like the walking path and community gardens offer opportunities for exercise, relaxation, and socializing.
