Osprey Circle

Osprey Circle is an apartment community for people who are 55 years or older, located in South Portland’s Brick Hill neighborhood. I don’t live here but I had a chance to tour the property with an elderly relative who was interested.
The buildings are two or three years old and seem to be in very good condition. The apartments are on the small side but are of the «open concept» design, making them feel more spacious than they are. The appliances are modern and energy efficient. There are laundry rooms in each of the buildings. Heat and hot water are included. The bathrooms in the apartments are enormous. Most units are partially handicapped accessible and some are fully accessible. Rent prices vary according to your household income, and income limits apply.
There is plenty of parking. The neighborhood is pretty. The buildings are within walking distance of several trails and there is even a small launch where you could put a canoe into Long Creek. A beautiful and relatively unknown park, Jordan Park, is also nearby. Hannaford and the Maine Mall are less than 10 minutes away by car. If you need to use public transportation, you’ll have to walk up a pretty steep hill to get to the nearest bus stop, which is unfortunate for folks with health problems or mobility limitations. And forget trying to walk that hill in the winter time unless you’ve got Yak Trax.
