About St. Lucas Riverside Apartments
+
−
Faribault, Minnesota is home to St. Lucas Riverside Apartments, a 30-apartment community at 501 1st Street SE that was renovated in 2022. The property operates under the HUD Section 202 Supportive Housing for the Elderly program, serving very low income seniors age 62 and older, with rent based on income rather than a set market rate. The 2022 renovation updated the property while keeping it within the same income-restriction rules that have applied since it opened.
Residents live independently here, managing their own meals, housekeeping and daily routine without staff supervision. The community does not offer personal care, medication management or nursing services, since Section 202 funds housing rather than caregiving. AHEPA Senior Living, the nonprofit operator, has directed support toward causes such as senior nutrition and services for domestic violence survivors since 1996.
The building sits near Faribault Medical Center and Thomas Scott Buckham Memorial Library, giving residents hospital and civic resources within the same part of town. Eligibility generally requires being 62 or older and meeting an income limit HUD sets for the area based on household size, and a waiting list is common for the 30 units at this address.
Families weighing Faribault options can also review other senior living in Faribault to compare this renovated, income-restricted community with other choices in the area. A completed application typically asks about household income, household size and age, since each of those factors decides eligibility under Section 202.
