Luxaira | Senior Affordable Housing in Irvine, CA

Luxaira’s 157 accessible apartments at Great Park Neighborhoods in Irvine, CA provide dignified and affordable aging-in-place solutions for seniors with mobility, vision, or hearing impairments. Two horseshoe-shaped buildings framing a central courtyard are thoughtfully designed to promote physical, mental, and emotional well-being for the residents.

Luxaira offers an abundance of amenities not typically associated with senior affordable housing, while accommodating the residents’ various physical capabilities. A yoga studio with barre bars, cardio rooms, a solar-heated outdoor pool and spa, an accessible raised-bed vegetable garden, and a Tai Chi pavilion promote an active lifestyle. Quilting and painting studios nurture creativity in a bright and airy setting, while the community kitchen, lounge, and library with fireplace provide additional social spaces. Two dog parks – each with an accessible dog wash – help seniors care for their canine companions.

The buildings reflect Irving Gill’s style of aesthetic purity and bold massing. Smooth plaster and wood trim punctuate the grand two-story arched entrances. Oversized columns supporting heavy timber trellises provide additional articulation at the courtyards, common-area roof decks, and private decks.

At each building, distinctly designed roof decks diversify experiences. The northern roof deck caters to an audience seeking a formal and refined atmosphere – complete with a bar, lounging spaces, big-screen TV, fire pits, and game tables. The southern roof deck beckons to the more free-spirited souls with its casual, calm feel evoked by its Zen-like turf and sitting stones, communal dining table, and grill.

An insightful understanding of the aging demographics’ needs contributed to an intuitive circulation system, connecting private and common areas. Strategically-located elevators and stairs, and corridors equipped with handrails, provide ease of use for all residents. Inside each studio, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom unit, abundant sunlight is maximized through large windows and decks.

The Great Recession of 2008 left many retirees facing the daunting task of finding affordable senior living options. Today, as housing prices skyrocket, Luxaira fills the affordable housing gap in its area without compromising design and style.
