Affordable senior apartment rent context in Santa Cruz

Most listings in Santa Cruz, TX are income-restricted (affordable) senior apartments from government housing data: HUD Section 202, USDA Section 515, LIHTC, and state housing finance agencies. We do not invent listings when a city has no government rows yet. Affordable senior apartment rents in Starr County typically $742–$973 under program limits (HUD Fair Market Rent context, FY2026); income caps apply. Very-low-income (≈50% AMI) 1-person limit is about $29,300/year in published HUD tables. These are HUD-published figures for context, not the rent at a specific property. Check with the property.

Market-rate senior apartment communities have no public registry, so they are not in this government feed. Owners can claim a profile when they want to appear here (use Claim this profile on a listing, or email [email protected]). Claim and sponsorship paths stay separate from lead marketplace flags, which stay off until counsel clears them.

Income-restricted affordable senior apartments

A note on counting: we show 0 income-restricted properties listed for Santa Cruz 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.

We don't have licensed senior apartment communities listed for Santa Cruz, TX yet.
