Gardens of Mabank housing
project progressing
Special to The Monitor
MABANK–Construction on the Gardens of Mabank apartment complex for
active senior citizens is well-underway, according to George Hopper with
Keystone Development Group, Inc.
The Gardens of Mabank, an affordable tax credit development, designed
for area median-income seniors, is located at 301 S. Second Street in
Mabank.
 It
will offer independent living for income-restricted seniors, age “55 and
better,” within a fully-maintained community of their peers.
The eight-acre parcel is bounded by Second Street to the west and Pine
Street to the north. The southern boundary lies on the Kaufman-Henderson
county line.

Thirty-four apartments are nearing completion at the Gardens of Mabank.
April is foreseen as the earliest move in date.
The development offers convenient access to shopping,
dining, pharmacies, grocery stores, banks, churches, beauty salons,
physicians and emergency medical treatment.
“We have had a tremendous response from the Cedar Creek Lake community,”
the developer states, “especially from area seniors, who are looking to
downsize and enjoy life on their own.”
Thirty-four apartments will offer two bedrooms, two baths and a two-car
garage, within approximately 1,000 square feet of living space, Hopper
said.
Kitchens provide energy efficient appliances, and washer/dryer
connections are standard.
Additionally, each apartment is Internet and cable ready. A limited
number of units will provide one-bedroom/one-bath and one-car garage.
The development includes a central community room/clubhouse and a
library with computer and Internet access.
“One of the advantages of an active senior community is that residents
may choose their level of involvement in scheduled activities, or simply
enjoy doing nothing if they wish,” Hopper said.
“And for those who like to travel, all they need to do is lock their
door behind them, and off they go,” he added. “We take care of
everything else.”
To find out how to apply for the Gardens of Mabank, call Elizabeth
Bonnette at (903) 887-8377, or stop in at the Athens office at 314 Wood
St., behind the movie theater.
