If you, or a loved one, are over the
age of 60 and looking for an affordable, safe and well-maintained
rental property in the Hastings District, the Hastings
District Council’s housing complexes could be
your answer.
With nine complexes to choose from, and rent starting at as little as $73 a week, people over the age of 60 (and in special circumstances between 55 and 60 - see criteria) are enjoying the friendships and security the units provide.
Making the complexes as comfortable as possible for the residents is a priority for the Council. Council staff look after the lawns and maintain. Residents can also grow their own flowers and vegetables.
The complexes include:

Secluded from traffic, this complex has 23 roomy flats, all
with a separate kitchen, close to Windsor Park and the local
