Amid sky-high rent prices in Naples, a new affordable apartment complex has opened its doors for hundreds of seniors living on fixed incomes.
The Ekos Allegro apartment complex, developed by McDowell Housing Partners, is designed for residents 62 and older. The fixed-income housing development features hurricane-proof construction and state-of-the-art amenities. The complex will eventually offer 160 units.
“I feel so fortunate and lucky. I’m speechless, the place is beautiful,” said Daniel Mullins, one of the new residents.
