A former parking lot near Historic Kenwood is now home to Burlington Post II, a 75-unit affordable apartment community for seniors.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held last Wednesday to celebrate the opening.
Every apartment at the five-story building at 3295 Burlington Avenue North is income restricted, and the property must remain affordable for at least 50 years.
For some of its first residents, the move followed rising rents that made their previous homes increasingly difficult to afford.
Tabari Lewis, community manager with Royal American Management, said in a conversation with St. Pete Rising that many residents learned about Burlington Post II through friends, family, and city housing services while searching for a more affordable place to live.
