All 56 units in the housing lottery are studios. No more than two people can live in each unit, with at least one resident required to be at least 62 years old. The monthly rent for these units is equal to 30% of the eligible tenant’s monthly income. The required annual household income must total no more than $64,800.
Each unit is equipped with energy-efficient appliances, air conditioning, intercommunication devices and online options for leasing, paying rent and making maintenance requests. Tenants will be responsible for electricity, including the electric stove.
Other amenities found at the property include a shared laundry room, a recreation room, a rooftop terrace, security cameras, a security guard, an on-site resident manager, an elevator and an accessible entrance. The laundry room, which is card-operated, is subject to fees. Smoking is prohibited at Grace’s Place Senior Apartments.
The property is within close proximity to the Far Rockaway Long Island Rail Road station and the Far Rockaway-Mott Avenue subway station, which provides service for the A train, as well as bus stops for the N31, N32, Q113 and Q114 lines.
