Elmer Gardens

Elmer Gardens is the preservation and adaptive reuse of the former Elmer Avenue Elementary School in Schenectady, NY to create 51 apartments for seniors (8 studios, 40 one-bedrooms, and 3 two-bedrooms). Elmer Gardens will continue the partnership between Home Leasing and Better Neighborhoods, Inc to revitalize the Eastern Avenue corridor that began with the two site Renaissance Square, a 55-unit affordable housing development including the adaptive reuse and preservation of the St. Mary’s School. 

The project will include amenities such as on-site laundry, a community room, bike rack, garden patio, outdoor chess, a fitness room, a pet washing station, bike storage, a walkout deck on the roof, a central elevator, and 25 parking spaces.
