North LB to get Senior Apartments

Located next to Ramona Park, the 60-unit development will be made affordable to 
low- and very low-income seniors. The project consists of 48 one-bedroom units 
and 12 two-bedroom units and will be constructed to comply with City green 
building standards as well as meet a minimum certifications standard set by LEED 
(Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design), an internationally recognized 
green building program. 

"This is the first of many projects to break ground in 2013 as part of the 
'Uptown Renaissance.' Investments like this bring vitality to the neighborhood, 
renew property, and support businesses," said Councilmember Steven Neal, 9th 
District. "I am honored to take part in a project that will not only provide our 
seniors with a place they can afford to thrive and live comfortably, but will 
also contribute to the revitalization of the Artesia corridor."

Ramona Park Senior Apartments is designed to complement Ramona Park.  With a 
warm and contemporary exterior design, the two-story residential development 
will contribute to the neighborhood by offering an aesthetically pleasing design 
and landscaping. Recreation areas will include passive sitting/reading areas, a 
swimming pool, circuit training course around the site, and a clubhouse that 
encompasses a kitchen, library, fitness center, computer room, dining area, 
entertainment area and restrooms. Residents will be provided with services such 
as life-style counseling, social activities, and classes that include computer 
use and personal financial management.
