A Place for Us
Overview of A Place for Us
Cleveland’s A Place for Us represents a landmark in inclusive senior housing, offering one of Ohio’s first affordable communities designed with LGBTQ+ older adults in mind. Located on the border of Lakewood and Cleveland, this 55-unit apartment complex combines comfort, accessibility, and community with a mission rooted in acceptance. The development, which opened in 2016 after decades of advocacy, provides an environment where residents aged 55+ can age authentically and safely—regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
Beyond its social mission, the property boasts thoughtfully designed one- and two-bedroom units, transit-oriented access, and shared amenities like a fitness center and community lounge. While the community welcomes residents of all backgrounds, its foundation in LGBTQ+ inclusion remains a guiding ethos, offering not just a place to live, but a place to belong. As the need for affirming senior housing grows nationwide, A Place for Us stands as a compelling model of what inclusive aging can—and should—look like.
