Description: Opened in the spring of 1999, Tahoe Senior Plaza is a lovely mountain chalet with 44 one-bedroom apartments, four of which are wheelchair accessible. Because the complex is federally subsidized housing for the elderly, residents must be at least age 62 and meet certain income guidelines. Those accepted will pay rent equal to about 30 percent of their adjusted annual income. Because demand is high, it’s necessary to place your name on a waiting list.
