Income-restricted affordable senior apartments: 12

A note on counting: we show 12 income-restricted properties listed for Petaluma proper. Other sites show bigger numbers when they count a wide radius. Nearby options are linked below, labeled by city.

How we rank these: we don't. Listed by verification date, newest first.

Providers appear with their government data: license status, capacity, inspection history, and a CMS star rating where the service has one. The order is the date we last verified each record, newest first. Nobody pays to appear, and nobody pays to move up. If a listing says "Sponsored," a provider paid for that placement and the label says so.

Looking for a transparent sort by CMS stars, inspection records, and staffing? That is a separate data ranking, not an editorial pick.

Sponsored placements, when they appear, are always labeled. How we make money →
