The Cambric

The Cambric, located in St. Paul, MN offers active adult living & independent living. Visit Provider Website

One household member at 55 and everyone else at 40 is the age rule here, in the historic Dayton's Bluff neighborhood at 720 East 7th Street, with a grocery store steps from the door.

The Cambric is an income-restricted apartment community in St. Paul, MN rather than a care community, and its strongest practical feature is where it sits. Mississippi Market is next door, downtown St. Paul is a few miles away, and I-94 and 35E are both close.

Who Can Live at The Cambric

The Cambric is 55 and older, and the rule is that one household member must be at least 55 and all others at least 40. Household income has to fall under an annual limit:

• One occupant: $55,260
• Two occupants: $63,120
• Three occupants: $71,040
• Four occupants: $78,900

That table stops at four, while the same figures at Dominium's Legends at Berry in St. Paul run on to six, so the two communities share an income ceiling and differ on age, not money. A minimum household income of two times the monthly rent applies, student status limits apply, and housing vouchers from local housing authorities are accepted.

Pricing at The Cambric

Dominium sets rent by plan, from $1,317 for a 715 square foot one bedroom up to $1,605 for a 1,005 square foot two bedroom, with 810, 825 and 860 square foot one bedrooms at $1,333 and 970 and 1,185 square foot two bedrooms at $1,545. Every apartment carries a flat $300 deposit, stated openly rather than quoted case by case. Availability moves plan by plan, so a request through Get Pricing lets you see which sizes are actually open and whether yours has a waitlist, which is the difference between a plan on a website and a home you can move into.

Around The Cambric

The Cambric sits in historic Dayton's Bluff, steps from Mississippi Market for groceries, with I-94 and 35E close and the Minnesota Transportation Museum and downtown St. Paul a few miles away. The building looks out on the St. Paul skyline. Two residents independently name the location first, both pointing at how close the shopping, dining and everyday errands are, which for someone who no longer wants to drive is the thing that decides a day.
