Central Florida's Independent Jewish Voice

The completely renovated and better than ever Kinneret Apartments

Located in beautiful Delaney Park near downtown Orlando, Kinneret Apartments continues to be a viable and attractive option for all low-income, independent seniors. In 1967, leaders in the Jewish community saw the need to create a community for seniors living on a fixed income and applied for a HUD mortgage to start building the first tower. The Kinneret Council on Aging was formed in 1985 as a non-profit organization to provide a meal service, health and fitness programs and Jewish cultural events and holiday celebrations to the over 300 residents of Kinneret Apartments.

Today, Kinneret Apartment residents receive critically needed services including grocery bags filled with food twice monthly, weekly bread delivery, breakfast twice a week and an optional daily meal delivery service which is subsidized by KCOA. While the makeup of the residents of Kinneret Apartments has changed over the years and now includes a melting pot of backgrounds, Jewish programming, including holiday celebrations, religious services, and educational presentations, remain.

The two Kinneret Apartment towers are now owned and operated by Fairstead, a company specializing in low-income housing. The company has delivered on its promise to renovate the two buildings, including both the individual apartments and all of the indoor and outdoor common areas. A former shuffleboard court is now an enclosed dog park, and each apartment is now equipped with a full kitchen, featuring quartz counter tops and stainless-steel appliances. Kinneret Apartments are open to all who qualify through HUD.
