Two income bands run side by side at The Addie at Metro Center, one set at 60% of area median income and one at 70%, and which one your household falls into decides what you pay.

The community is in Aurora's City Center neighborhood in Aurora, CO, a brand-new 55+ apartment building rather than a care community. Dominium Management Services, who manages The Addie at Metro Center, states rents by plan and income limits for both bands. The operator describes apartments rather than care, naming no meal service and no on-site nursing anywhere on its own pages.

Rent at The Addie at Metro Center

Rents depend on the band the apartment is set at. In the 60% band a one bedroom at 743 square feet starts at $1,581 a month and a two bedroom at 946 square feet starts at $1,888. In the 70% band two bedrooms from 1,001 to 1,083 square feet start at $2,212. Several plans advertise lower figures, and Dominium states those are net effective rents after a concession spread across a 14-month lease, so they are an offer rather than a standing rent. One request through Get Pricing gets you the real figure for a plan that is available, so you can budget on the rent you would still be paying in year two.

Income Limits at The Addie at Metro Center

The 60% band caps total household income at these figures:

• 1 occupant: $60,480
• 2 occupants: $69,120
• 3 occupants: $77,760
• 4 occupants: $86,400

The 70% band runs higher, at $70,560 for one occupant, $80,640 for two, $90,720 for three and $100,800 for four. Dominium says the limits follow area median income as evaluated by HUD and can move year to year. So a household just over the 60% line is not shut out, it simply pays the 70% rent, which is why both bands are worth raising before you decide you do not qualify.

Who Can Live at The Addie at Metro Center

The community describes itself throughout as 55+ apartments for active adults, and states that age and income restrictions apply under its affordable housing program. What it does not set out on its own website is the exact household age rule, whether every member has to be 55 or only one, so that is a question for your first contact. A household made up entirely of full-time students is not eligible unless it meets a stated exemption.

Apartments at The Addie at Metro Center

One bedrooms run from 704 to 743 square feet and two bedrooms from 936 to 1,083. Kitchens are open-concept with granite countertops, an island, a pantry and Energy Star appliances, and apartments carry walk-in closets, nine-foot ceilings and a private patio or balcony. Water is included with the rent, which the community points out means extra loads of laundry cost you nothing.
