Alma gardens senior apartments
Located within the nationally acclaimed Orenco Station development and adjacent to a light rail transit station, Alma Gardens provides 45 apartments for affordable independent senior living. MWA and NHA worked with an adjacent TriMet ‘Park and Ride’ that borders the property to minimize site restrictions and facilitate a more dynamic neighborhood engagement with the senior residents.
