About Us

Our Mission

At Marywood Apartments, we care about the happiness and well-being of every resident. We provide a comfortable, independent living community for seniors (those 62-years-old or greater), or those applying for an apartment specifically constructed to be accessible to individuals with physical disabilities. Unlike an assisted living or nursing home, Marywood does not provide resident care.

Our community is designed to give individuals access to affordable, quality apartments with a variety of services, amenities, and active lifestyle opportunities available. Our safe, maintenance-free building is nestled in a wooded area across from St. Mary’s Catholic Church and just minutes from shopping, restaurants, doctors’ offices, and hospitals.

Marywood is operated by CSM Senior Living Management, with missional oversight provided by a local, not-for-profit Board of Directors.

Marywood Apartments does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, elderliness, familial status, disability, source of funds, sexual orientation, gender identity, and veteran status in the admission or access to, and/or treatment and employment in, its federally assisted programs and activities. Occupancy is open to all persons who meet the community’s eligibility criteria, regardless of the aforementioned federal and state statutorily protected classes.

Affordable Lifestyle

Rent at Marywood is based on your individual income to make it affordable for everyone. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) subsidizes each individual’s rent. Even someone with no income can afford to live at Marywood Apartments.

Persons wishing to reside at Marywood must have an adjusted income that does not exceed federally established income limits for the Richmond area. The amount paid for rent, including a utility allowance, will not exceed 30% of an eligible resident’s adjusted income.

Additionally, water, sewer, and trash removal are included in the rent. Residents are responsible for their own electric bill, and for phone, internet, and cable television service (should they choose to have them). Marywood does not provide assisted living, nursing, or other care services.

Our History

Marywood was built in 1983 through the combined efforts of the Catholic Diocese of Richmond under the leadership of The Most Reverend Walter F. Sullivan and a group of parishioners from St. Mary’s Church. Their goal was to create a retirement community to serve older persons with low incomes. The community was developed with the help and leadership of The Board of Directors; Lester A. Wagner, Consultant; Collins and Kronstadt Leahy Hogan Collins Draper, Architect; and Heindl-Evans, Inc., Contractor.
