The Huntington Plaza Apartments were renovated with USA Properties fund, a real estate development organization that specializes in senior and family housing. Additional project financing was provided by Citibank and the City of Huntington Park. The apartments are open to those who are 55 or older and have income levels between 50% and 60% of the area’s median household income. The apartment community features a number of amenities, including a laundry facility, a fitness center, and a garden area.
