New affordable housing for seniors opens in Bradenton. Here’s what to know
A new 120-unit affordable housing community for seniors is complete and accepting applications in Bradenton.
The $37.4 million project, called Astoria on 9th, is a collaboration between Miami Heat legend Alonzo Mourning’s nonprofit AM Affordable Housing and Miami-based developer Housing Trust Group. It’s Housing Trust Group’s fourth development in Bradenton, but its first for seniors.
Located at 2244 Ninth Street West, the Astoria on 9th is a single, five-story building with one- and two-bedroom units ranging between 635 and 907 square feet. The rent rates for the units are between $322 to $1,316 per month. That’s below the local average of $1,639 for a one-bedroom apartment, according to Rent Cafe.
