New York City’s seniors have spent decades building the neighborhoods, culture, and spirit that make this city extraordinary. Now, a brand-new affordable senior residence in Coney Island is offering older adults the chance to enjoy a coastal lifestyle—with rent starting as low as $0 for eligible applicants.
Luna Green, a newly developed senior housing residence located at 3027 West 21st Street, is officially accepting waitlist applications through the New York State Housing Search portal.
🌊 Seaside Living & Modern Comforts
Situated just blocks from the iconic Coney Island boardwalk and beach, Luna Green pairs coastal tranquility with modern urban conveniences. Designed specifically for comfortable senior living, the building opens into a grand, light-filled lobby with 24-hour security and dedicated mail and package rooms.
- Thoughtful Layouts: Apartments feature spacious floor plans with modern finishes, large windows designed to capture seaside breezes and skyline views, and energy-efficient appliances.
- Wellness & Social Hubs: Residents have access to an on-site fitness gym and physical therapy suite, a vibrant community lounge, and an outdoor public terrace ideal for socializing and fresh ocean air.
- Everyday Convenience: The residence includes full elevator access, a central on-site laundry room, and full-time on-site building management.
❤️ Senior Accessibility & Specialized Set-Asides
Luna Green is a 100% senior-dedicated community. To qualify, the head of household or co-head of household must be 62 years of age or older.
- Dedicated Units: Specialized accessible apartments are reserved for individuals with mobility, hearing, or vision impairments.
- Stress-Free Screening: No credit check is required to apply, ensuring lower barriers to entry for older adults living on fixed incomes.
💰 How The $0 Rent Structure Works
The financial setup for Luna Green is tailored for seniors on fixed or low incomes. The building operates under a NYCHA Section 8 Project-Based Voucher structure:
- Income-Based Rent: Residents pay just 30% of their adjusted gross income toward monthly rent.
- No Minimum Income: There is no minimum income requirement. If a household has $0 in income, the resident’s portion of the rent can also be $0, covered under the project-based voucher subsidy program.
- Tenant Responsibilities: Residents are responsible for electricity and electric stove usage.
