N. Hollywood Senior Housing Complex Caters to Artistic Tenants
The Los Angeles Times (11/24, Vincent, 629K) reported, "The $32-million NoHo Senior Arts Colony is intended for residents age 62 and over with interests in such artistic pursuits as singing, acting, photography and writing." The developer, Meta Housing Corp., "also operates the Long Beach Senior Arts Colony and the Burbank Senior Artists Colony, where tenants can attend poetry workshops, learn to paint with watercolors or join the chorus." The Times noted, "With the enormous baby boom generation closing in on retirement, demand for senior housing will swell, industry experts said, but it's unclear how best to serve them. Developers are uncertain how deep demand will be for apartment living and whether average boomers will be able to afford upscale rents of $2,000 a month or more."
