ERNEST C. OLIVARES – SENIOR COMMUNITY RESIDENCE

History

This low-income senior community was completed in November 2002 and is located at 1003 Vera Cruz Street in close proximity to the San Antonio River Authority’s newly constructed Westside Creeks Trail-way System – offering miles of below street level walking paths.  Named after Ernest C. Olivares, the Avenida’s first Executive Director, the Olivares Senior Community is comprised of 59 units with balcony or patio and several community areas that are all incorporated into an environment dedicated to independent senior living.
